Has anyone ever seen a Memphis made guitar that originally came from Gibson with a truss rod cover that says "Memphis" on it?

There aren’t any new Memphis made guitars. The Memphis factory was closed towards the end of last year and all the equipment/ tooling was moved to Nashville and all the upper end instruments Are made in the Custom Shop and the regular line guitars are made In the “USA” factory.

I'm quite aware of that. Has nothing to do with the original question. The Memphis truss rod cover shown came on a 2015 model and was on it directly from Gibson, not added later. Absolutely certain of that.
