Nice! I ordered a blank truss rod cover for my newly-acquired sslvo, before I even received the guitar in the mail (the truss rod cover actually arrived first)!

YUP - as long as your current Bigsby is positioned correctly it's a direct swap.

I kind of like the Bigsby they come out with, it defines them from standard 6120's, at least in my eyes  I love the V-cut look, but there's still something classy about the standard B6-C!! Here's a pic of what Paul S. did for my TRC:

Hello! Where did you get the truss rod cover? I'm looking to buy a RHH Model and will want to replace it. I'm only considering the RHH because it seems to be the only way I can get the "G" brand with lacquer. Thanks. Steve

It's had a few changes, the first was a treble bleed kit on the master volume, I have changed the scratchplate to a 6120W style, and I use the standard knobs rather than the dice (just going for a more classic 6120 look, but have kept all the Setzer outer bits and put aside), also it has a Compton bridge which is a magical change in itself, and I added a few stickers to the back of the headstock. Here's a couple of pics:

The best you can do is buy a bullet replacement TRC for a 6120 (can be found on ebay easy enough) and hope at least a couple of holes line up. In most cases, you will need to drill at least one hole, maybe more.
