Lap steel style.

All my life, it seemed like the cool kids took off the covers and left them off. I did so because of SRV, Jimi, and Kirk Hammett. Then, when I got into changing tunings frequently on Floyd guitars, I left them off for ease of access.

I just got an LTD M-1000, and promptly removed the cover, leaving it off after I put my strings (10-52) on it, intending to toss it into the parts bin. However, I was just showing my 18 year old some Pantera videos, and noticed Dime’s cover is in place.

So... on or off? What say ye?

Which M1000 did you get? Mine has slotted rear plate that you can adjust without taking it off.

It’s an older one, 2008 I think, but the cover is solid.

I stuck a piece of foam under the springs and put the cover back on earlier this evening. Trying to branch out a little and try something new

On my strat copy: off

On my Hamer which has a recessed metal cover that doesn't get in the way when changing strings : on

That’s annoying on the vintage style ones where you have to press on the bar to align the block holes with the cover holes. Probably the original reason I removed mine.
