Mark, I hope it works out well for you, but I have to tell you, after reading about bad experiences with Eden bodies and necks over at the TDPRI, I'd never buy one.

 I guess that's the nice thing about it is that it could be replaced if it need to be......It was definately done on a budget.  ;)

Mark,
Coolness!
I like the concept ( and statement ) of the reverse truss rod cover ( but maybe you could do it in CHROME!! ;D )

Uwe, "lipstick color"?!? everyone knows those colors are the accents in Marks raven tresses, I believe a shade of red is his usual ( if anything about Mark is usual ) color.

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Ok, with that explanation and alternative life style agenda, I'm now all for that upside down TRC too.

Quite queerly, a brilliant and oreficial idea.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I dunno - personally, I would have foregone the TRC and just glued some rug around the opening.

I really prefer shaved you know......... :gay:  But then covered up, I am a little modest. Wait....are we talking about a truss rod cover or?  ;)

Hey Mark!  That looks great - we'll have to get together and compare Fbirds soon, I think mine will be ready near the end of the month.
