Who makes custom truss rod covers for Taylors?

Am sure there are others but Capt Bill's handiwork is highly regarded.

I see someone else beat me to the punch...so this will be another recommendation for

[email protected]

He does very beautiful work and check out his custom tuner buttons while your there.

Good luck to you!

I have used Cliff at www.sharkinlay.com. He is by himself, knows his stuff, very communicative, reasonably priced. I have used him for lots of truss rod covers.

I have to second Cliff - he's custom made some stuff for me and they're all amazing and unique from any other TRCs I've seen.

There's a few pics of my R Taylor on his site in case you're wondering what it may potentially look like.

cheers

Another vote for Bill Nichols here!

I'm in the process of ordering a custom TRC from Bill Nichols as well. I looked at all the ones he's done on his website, and I'm excited to see mine when it's finished.

How does one get a hold of Bill Nichols? I have emailed him several times and never get a response.

Taylor 339, I don't have an answer for you. I know that he is up to his eyeballs in orders.

In fact I got an email from him today as he has requested payment on two TRC's I ordered two months ago.

Here's good one with great prices. I bought 3 so far and got them within a 1 week. I may pick up another:

Evidently Bill has been quite ill and does not get to his emails as often as he would like given the severity of his illness (or the treatment). He will get back to you - at least that has been my experience with him...but that will take some time.

Best of luck to you!

riesendw · #13 06-30-2009, 08:23 PM

I've traded emails with him the past 2 days, so I imagine he'll get in contact with you soon.

I read that on his site too, he seems to be doing better now so there should be less delays then before.

Im getting him to make me this one in rosewood/pearl for my 314ce
