I'm sure you will love them.. I have a TRC ordered from Capt. Bill and am expecting it shortly.. but I'm thinkin it might take a little longer than quoted cause of the hurricane they had back there.

Everything CaptBill does is first class all the way. You're going to be very pleased.

When you get the chance, tell us what you think of your Cobalt 750.

Very nice looking! I had decided to stay with the 712 buttons but now I have to rethink that decision.

cs, you might want to put on a bib or drape a towel over your keyboard before you visit CaptBill's site. I drooled all over myself the first time I visited and saw his custom truss rod covers!

I have Capt Bill trc's on my 510, 600 and 314 and love them! I've been thinking very seriously about some of his tuner buttons...

I got a Rosewood/Koa Celtic Knot TRC and Rosewood Tuner buttons for my 714ce from Capt Bill. He is a class act, and a first class artisan.

Well worth the wait.

Question how much

I didn't see any prices for the tuner buttons on his site, so how much are, say, the indian rosewood tuner buttons?

I have cocobolo buttons on my 615 Ltd. I will hopefully be posting some pictures this weekend. They are tremendous. He is a true craftsman.
