So, I got this guitar as a gift, and it doesn’t come with a cover plate for the tremolo springs!
I’ve seen a few PRS like this, and personally I think it’s BS that I have to buy one separately for what I’m sure this guitar cost my friends.
I noticed that the John Mayer (my second favorite guitar player next to Alex Lifeson) guitar doesn’t have one either, but I found one for sale on Reverb.

My question’s are: Will this work for my guitar? I want to keep it original specs from the factory. Also, how will I be able to change the strings once I put this on?
I notice there’s no screw holes on my guitar already, so do I just screw it down on my own? Or should I heat the finish up a bit over the stove or a candle to make the plastic finish softer? What would you do?
I really hope I’m doing the right thing by installing this. I’m not sure if my guitar is a John Mayer or not, but since this guitar doesn’t have a backplate and the John Mayer doesn’t either I think no it must be.
My guitar has a lot of birds and a seahorse sticker.
