Leaving the spring cavity cover off

I always put the cover back on, I hate it off. I've also never had to tweak the spring claw at a gig. In fact I have several Jacksons that stay pretty much in tune from gig to gig and thats playing in an 80's hard rock cover band where some songs require quite a bit of Floyd use. Are you guys seriously tweaking springs between sets during gigs?Rudy

I don't take any plates off my guitars unless I have to. I've only ever had one guitar with squeeking trem and/or reverberant springs. It was a BC Rich, and haven't played one since.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

If the guitar goes out of tune during a song, that's what your backup guitar is for and then retune between sets (well, at least that's what I do). I've read somwhere that leaving the rear cover off adds extra tone to the guitar but I really don't see how. I leave my covers on. In fact, I'm looking for a cover at the moment to put on a SDK2 that I just bought and didn't have it on with the guitar.
