WTB: one hole truss rod cover, floyd tremelo cover

[Cboss]

Hi, I am missing a couple Hamer parts for my project.. I need a one-hole truss rod cover like fitted to the Diablos, and I also need a Floyd tremolo cover plate... I did try to get this from Fret's on the net and that did not go too far, so if anyone has these available I would be much grateful

What do you mean "did not go too far?"

Can't he just make one for you?

Wanted a tracing of the tremelo cover, "couldn't make" the truss rod cover because there is a lift in the back where it goes under the string retainer

I'm not sure what your skill level is or what tools you own, but another option is I've made my own cover/truss rod plates in the past... I buy the 3ply sheets and cut/sand/drill as needed... hardest part is beveling the edges... but I find it so fun and rewarding~

Thanks for the materials link..it might come to that

but hoping for an original; that is the appeal of this project for me, taking things that have been lost in people's workbenches for decades and putting it together into a renewed Hamer

FYI, I'm not sure but the parts may also be a "single ply" blank...

Good luck in your quest~

The original part is a 2-ply, B/W, curved cover.
