Custom tremolo cavity cover.

There's a place for the tremolo cavity cover, but i ran into a problem with parts and realized too late on the body's design.  The tremolo block is longer than the guitar body's thickness, so the block and springs are going to run into and scrap the trem cover.  Instead of buying pickguard material, i bought a 2-in-1 clipboard/folder document holder thingy from walmart for a few bucks less.  It is essentially two 9x12 sheets of plain 3 ply black pickguard material.  I cut a big hole in the bigger sheet for the bottom and smaller one for the top.  The two together should create a dome for block and spring clearance.
