I'm told by several luthiers that Gibson has a straight slot for their truss rods now, instead of the curve. A few guys have had to remove the fingerboard in order to reinstall the truss rod correctly

All my T-Bird saddles are notched - you can't really play them unnotched, at least I can't.

Not to be RUDE, But ALL of my thunderbirds have always had UN-Notched saddles....simple geometry. They find their own proper center....and stay centered......and I play aggressive...with a pick...and the strings have NEVER slipped off of the saddles...You must be ripping the strings or have some Monstrous hand technique....

I made a poor attempt to sell my remaining 3 basses...but alas...My prices were HIGH so..in a way I didn't really want to sell them UNLESS my outrageous prices were met.

Took off all 3 listings...had a weak moment....was ready to trade for a sunburst 1965 Jazz Bass with Lollipop tuners exactly like Noel Redding and then use the rest of the  money for bills....guess I'll keep them and keep struggling...

I think there is a company from the UK or Japan that sells relic Les Paul Parts. They make repro Brown control covers. They may have the material...Or just buy a new Gibson Historic one and cut it down.
