Went to take off the Gibson switch plate, took out the vintage style one out of the goodie bag, and....hmmm.

A - 2 tone backplates are all the rage?
B - A dog snuck into the CS and ate all the brown control cavity plates?
C - I'm drunk?
D - Dave, don't be such an asshole and quit being so picky?
E - All of the above?

Gibby owes you a backplate if'n it be new.

Otherwise...I hardly ever look at the back anyways as my wrists are attached the other way and my arms are too weak to lift it over me 'ead!

F - None of the above.

If it were me, I'd probably just buy a matching whatever it is in whichever color I prefer. Still a peculiar thing though.

If you got it from Pete, you definitely need to hassle him about it and claim you've been rooked. :LOL:

I just checked my case candy and both covers are the same shade of brown.

My dark back came with the standard brown plate. I swapped it to a black one when I changed all the parts to black from cream. I would have preferred the black one
