An original Gibson Truss Rod Guide, dated March 1968 and issued during the final years of the Chicago Musical Instrument Company (CMI) era. Printed in bright green with a line drawing of the patented Gibson truss rod, this booklet provided new owners with adjustment instructions and background on one of Gibson’s most important innovations.

Carrying the Lincolnwood, Illinois address, these guides were included with Gibson guitars in the late ’60s and into the early Norlin transition years. A practical piece of case candy in its time, it now stands as a collectible glimpse into Gibson’s attention to detail during the CMI years.

If you have a Gibson guitar from 1968, then this is the piece to help make that incredible guitar package complete. Please take a look at the photos, let us know if you have any questions and as always, we thank you for stopping by!
