Wow! Beautiful! I agree on the white truss rod cover. And you can always switch it back if it doesn't look right.

You might be able to get one at a good price thru one of the Chinese companies that make the Ric copies. I believe there are a few members here that have experience in dealing with some of them. Maybe they might have suggestions.
