Another avenue to look into aside from countersinking the cover (or in addition to it) is having no screws. See page two of Bradeinhorn's thread on the Dan Voights instruments. Dan used a strong magnet to hold the cover in place along with a guide pin to keep it lined up. This would give more room and less distraction for inlay on the cover itself.
Clever idea. I never liked those shiny screws in the headstock so much... Black ones would be a compromise.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946
