    Well, the easiest looking suggestion I've seen is to make kerf cuts in the back of the cap with a router so it will bend easier...like this (below). This is what I'm going to try.

    The thing that really sucks is that in order to do this and have nothing show, I have to set the neck first and work around it. So much for using a vacuum bag to glue the top down, and cleaning up the excess around the edges is going to be tricky. And then, of course, the neck will also make it tricky to do the new rout for the neck pickup, but I have a plan...
