I didn't like Molly, my latest model with a wooden electronics cover because I had anodized all the hardware black and gave it all silver trim.

So I made this cover to finish off the whole motif. I'll get these anodized black and then I'll sand the raised type and outer edges to get the silver.

Geez that's nice....I'd almost hate to anodize it. It sort of reminds me of that aluminum trim panel on a '57 Chevy
I hope that your electronics covers are on the FRONT side of the guitar
