Hey all,
So I’m trying to track down one of the Grained Ivoroid (Kasein material) Truss Rod covers, either plain, or with an inlay for one of my guitars that has mostly every other part in this material. I know I can order from Crazyparts.de, but with shipping being $30, and also being unemployed at the moment due to Covid, I was hoping to find one on the forum! I have a few other cool truss Rod covers I could trade, or other parts/accessories. Let me know, it would be much appreciated....
Happy Holidays to you and your families!
 
If I had a blank of that material I could make one for you pretty easily I think...
 
One problem is that this material is hazmat which incurs a hefty shipping surcharge. I found a $8 2"x2"x0.25" piece, but the hazmat shipping surcharge was $37... and that's on top of shipping.
Best bet might be to find a local luthier; I imagine this material would be needed to repair/build acoustics (the wider blanks would be needed to make the end piece like on Martins).
