Coverplate History
I am going to try something new ...for me. Will try to post an article on coverplates.
This article was just recently completed by Randy Getz and I. It's the whole story, titled "The Coverplate Story". It was not intended to be the last word on accuracy, just the best we could do with all the research.
If I'm successful, it should be and attachment to this post..I think !

Brass/Gold/Copper hardware
I am thinking about changing my chrome hardware to brass. I was considering this when I ordered my guitar from Todd Clinesmith, but played it safe and went for the traditional look.
Does anyone have pictures of rosewood/spruce guitars with brass/copper hardware and tips where I can get it. I know beardguitars have some for sale, but they have listed the coverplate as out of stock. If I do this I need tuners, soundholes, coverplate, tailpiece and skrews in brass or copper. What do you guys and gals think?
Posting a couple of pics of my guitar as it is now!
Pending: Used coverplate with high palmrest
Hi folks,
I'm upgrading an old import Regal RD-45NS to a Continental cone and spider, and the cone and spider won't fit properly under the Regal original coverplate. So I'm looking for a good usable used coverplate with a higher palmrest. Can pay cash or trade. Please let me know if you have any that you might like to unload, how much you need for it, or what you might take in trade.
Thanks,
Tom
I received an phone call from Bobby Wright, who is currently upgrading my '77 Sho-Bro, and a used Wechter Sheerhorn coveplate will be on it's way next week. If it fits, the old Regal should be much improved. Thanks.
