Just got the RG/RGA truss rod cover from Rich at Ibanezrules.com. Nice fast shipping considering it came from the USA.

Makes the headstock look nicer, no? I felt the angular look of the RG cover would be better than the old traditional Gibson type.

Wow! That's super sexy!

Wow. Amazing job!

I've now got my hands on the black control cavity plate (just needs a light sand on one corner to fit) and some shielding paint from StewMac. I started off with the control cavity covered in copper tape, but it just wouldn't stick to the fresh satin paint, so I'm tearing it out and all out and will be painting that and the pickup routs in the shielding paint before wiring it up and seeing how it plays...

Great job in getting the conceptualized look nailed.

Thanks, man! Despite the small issues with the paint, which now with the hardware on seem even less obvious, I'm pretty chuffed with the result.
