I just received a brand new 325c64 from a well-known dealer. I noticed the truss rod cover was a little loose, so I tightened down the screws. I noticed photos of other new 325c64's and it seems those have slotted screws securing the TRC, but mine has phillips head screws. I know it's a minor thing, but since part of the cost of this guitar is its accuracy to the original, I am wondering if the phillips head screws are wrong. I emailed RIC with this question but I haven't heard back.

Curious what other 325c64 owners have for TRC screws. I wonder if the dealer during the pre-shipment check removed the TRC and replaced the screws with the wrong ones.

I don't have one, but the 325c58 I used to have had slotted screws, so I would think that the c64 would also have them.

Could be a supply-chain issue, depending on when the guitar was built.
