s*Of all of the years that I have played my Guild archtops I have a really stupid question. I 7/8just bought a beautiful 1968 T-100 in natural. The guitar looks like it just came from the music store save for a few small scratches. Anyways I want to make a truss rod adjustment. Simply put you remove the screws from the trussrod cover and take the cover off. Problem is.... that the cover is really adhered to the trussrod adjustment opening. I simpy don't want to scratch up the area by going full bore with say a screwdriver or something else that will slip and scratch up the area. Do you fellows have any suggestions for getting this cover off of the trussrod opening? I'm thinking of maybe taking a bent paperclip, and very carefully prying off the cover from one of the screw openings maybe? What I am wondering is what does one do if the laquer say softened and that is what is adhering the cover to the top of the trussrod opening? Suggestions? Thanks, jim in Maine
