Got the truss rod cover to fit!!!
Not yet screwed in, just set in place.
Didn't even need to reprint. Simon's post about sanding kinda stuck in my head so today while stuck on a problem at work, I started aggressively sanding the edges. Looked kinda grim for a bit, but I realized that if I sanded fast enough, heat built up to melt a bit of the plastic in on itself to hide the plastic latticework. Not perfect, but that's kinda the theme of this build! LOL.
Also sanded back and restained the headstock. I used a minwax wood conditioner and it really helped the wood dye to cover evenly and was a lot easier to make a burst effect.
Next up I will be glueing the neck.
Made a little fret protector to ensure I don't crush the frets when I clamp.
