Gibson-TKL OFFSET Replacement Guitar Case Handle for archtop acoustic drum set L

RetroGuitarParts -- Archtop and Jazz Specialist

Two options for installation! See details below.    

MADE IN THE USA 

TKL tan replacement handle with OFFSET nickel chrome hardware that can follow the rounded contours of a guitar or drum case.

Made in USA!   Comes unassembled.....the offset mounting plates can be turned (reversed) a number of different ways to follow the unique curves of a form-fit guitar case or drum case. Compare the placement of the brackets in pics 1,2, and 3 ...you can follow different types of contours.  

Durable handle with classic nickel mounting hardware looks great on tweed, black, gray, tan.

Includes 5/8ths rivets (install with normal hand tools). If you need a different size rivet you can email or call and get a different size.

The handle measures 4 and 3/8ths inches from center of leg to center of leg.  

 Great quality, and now with two ways to install:

• 1. Use the hardware shown by mounting the two axles through the mounting plates, then install the completed handle using the 4 rivets...or...
• 
  
• 2. Use your pre-exisiting case hardware and simply install the raw handle using the two axles. This keeps your case original. (Your original case hardware should be similar in appearance to that shown here, in order for the axles to fit correctly. These are "spinning" axles as oppose to being the non-spping or "fixed' type).

If you need help...send me a pic of your case!

Shop Talk - to install the axles, slide the axle through the handle and case hardware so that the open end of the axle points to the inside of the handle. Then, use a small hammer to "ball pien" the open axle end, creating a burr which locks the axle and handle in place. This is the same process used at the factory and it will have a factory appearance. Works great!   (TIP: place a counter-weight or another hammer agianst the opposite end of the axle that you are tapping...this will make your hammer taps more meaningful).

* A standard size rivet is included. If you know the specific length rivet you need you should email that BEFORE paying. If you need a different size rivet AFTER you receive the handle they can be provided at an additional charge which covers our cost....we want to help you get your case back on the road!
