Hello, I’m hoping this will bump me up to be able to post a photo of my truss rod cover.
Thanks

It does take a few days to get approved and all. Send me the picture and I'll post it for you.

Those letters look like dry transfers used to label things.

They come in white and black.

They are available in different fonts. Here's a font closer to your letters.

If you didn't clear coat them they had a bad habit of chipping off fairly easily!

Oh yeah! In another lifetime, I used Letraset rub-on letters to put my initials on my motorcycle helmets. I used clear nail polish to clear coat them.

Looks like a legit '60s Guild TRC apart from the initials. My Bluesbird's TRC claims the guitar is a Starfire, but I'm guessing it's a fairly late metal version and Guild was just using up stock.

GB = George Benson?
:smile:
Or even George Barnes?
(Not that I think this instrument actually belonged to one of 'em, but possibly a "tribute" thing by an owner?)
But still think most likely it was just an owner's initials and a coincidence about "GB" being the initials of 2 well-known Guild endorsers.
