Recessed control cavity plates on S2 and CE

[SinSir]

Non recessed on the back of the guitar make it completely unplayable. Just look at this guy..

Aye, those bike reflectors must really upset the action.

Looks like the guitar is punching him in the k'nuts for putting the springs on that way. And leaving the backplate off, forcing the guitar into compulsory manscaping.

yep, that's the "I just squashed a nad in the trem block after that last divebomb" look.

A thin saw blade and a steady nerve!

Does not look easy. I struggle carving the top of the jack o lantern so the top will sit right and vent

Yeah, I know. It’s painful. But if you’re going to play trem guitars with the back plates off, it’s GOING to happen! Ask Sergio.

That back cover really messes with the tone.

Had some time to kill waiting for some food this evening so I went to the local GC. Had them pull this S2 McCarty 594 off the wall for me. Nice quality, great workmanship.
Then I saw the warped control cavity cover.
Can we just admit that the control cover situation is problematic?

I agree that it is problematic in that it opens up potential problems that are exacerbated by the guitar being on the GC floor.
