Music Man haven’t had recessed backplates for well over a decade.
I'm talking about the manufacturer's doing it.Yes I'm going to jump right in on doing this on one of their $3000 guitars.
A formidable task.It still has to be sanded.
Sure, you like your control cavity and pickup selector cavity to be open then?Take it off, you dont need it
John Suhr recesses his control cavities, just not the trem cavity. Y'all missing the while point. I give 2 shits about the trem cavity....I always remove mine....talking other cavities.Yes, yes I'm with you here....I won't consider buying a guitar without them. I love everything about them....
I've never even thought about recessed plates until this thread. Both my Suhr's don't have them and it's neither here nor there for me; I'm good either way I guess. I grew up playing a mid-70's Strat with a plate that stuck out so this has never been on my radar.
I don't think the S2's are recessed. I have one from 2013 and it's not recessed. Lame.PRS stopped doing this as well on their S2 guitars. Given it's like this on the S2s and not the Cores, I'm assuming it's cost saving thing.
I agree: it looks shitty. And on a >$1500 guitar: no bueno.
That’s what I saidI don't think the S2's are recessed. I have one from 2013 and it's not recessed. Lame.
Well no then I guess not. I didn't think of the other two plates. I just looked at my guitars closure. I guess you either route out the back and use back plates or you route the top and cover it with a pick gard. Nobody going in sidewaysSure, you like your control cavity and pickup selector cavity to be open then?
No worries here. I use a standard 1/4” plug with my guitars.All you “no cover” guys are going to change your tune when you catch your pubes in the trem springs. It’s incredibly painful.
