I had posted a picture of a custom made Ovation Truss Rod Cover in another Forum, and I should have given the URL in case anyone was interested in getting one, or having a custom one made:

Bob Nichols - handmakes his TRC's and will make just about anything you want. Seems like a terribly nice fellow, and his prices are very reasonable!

Elegant Bling!

Hand Carved Wood, Abalone, Mother of Pearl, Engraved Metal...consistant, or complimentary with the fretboard and bridge colors.

NO Rhinestones!!!!

I almost bought one of those several years back to go with my blinged out Bubinga Elite. Every once in a while, I still consider it.

But overall, when I want a fancy TRC, I tend to prefer the carved ones myself.

Still, I can see how that one could add some nice accent to certain models.

Shoot.....now I'm thinking again.

I think that this is gorgeous too, but I just can't see it on any of my acoustics:

Patch? Is your Bu-Blinga a Custom?

On my "Dream Ovation", I wanted to ask for the Abalone going around the head like yours, but didn't think it was possible, I see now, that it *is* possible! What a Gorgeous Guitar!!!

When I ordered my koa-topped VXT custom years ago, the factory threw in a truss rod cover made out of the same piece of koa to match the body. It was unexpected and a nice touch.

I had the same thing done for my redwood-topped 1713 slothead. I love the look.

I hope you don't mind Patch, I saved the pictures, that is one Gorgeous Guitar! And from what you wrote in the posts, it is just as amazing sounding as it is looking!!!

And it is really cool to see what I had imagined for my Perfect Ovation to see actually done on the head stock with the abalone! On some guitars, it would be just too much, but on this Beauty it just fits perfectly!!

I could see that one with a custom TRC, nothing overly gaudy, but an ebony one with one of the fretboard design centered on it, I could easily see on your Disney BuBlinga!

Thank You so much for sharing the pictures, it's history is fascinating too!!

It is a nice headstock. I have the same one on my Book Elite and Book Mandolin.

Her very own Sara Jane signature model Adamas! It went back to the Mothership and they installed different epaulets, so it is indeed one of a kind.

I think a piece of spalted maple for the 07C would be nice...
