Since I have a laser cutter and a stack of various weird materials, making a nicer looking cover is right in my wheelhouse. This design features material from the vibrato patent, including a diagram of what is behind the plate. I also put on the model name, number, and I added some text with the model info. My original inspection sticker is also stuck inside.
This part is somewhat thinner than the original, which I also like, and the screw heads are properly countersunk.
I did keep the original irregularly-spaced screw holes, no need to poke MORE holes in the back of the guitar. I'll just have to live with it being off-center.
No one will ever see it and it doesn't matter, but I like my black cover a lot better than factory white!
