Mine stays on and I've elongated the holes to make string changes easier.

Yep. Pointless.

Yes, but because I like having access to the claw screws to adjust the feel.

I took it off to adjust the tension, and left it off for a while to make sure I'm happy with it. Now I can't find where I put the cover!

I went further and removed the whole Strat.

But how do you change the strings now?

I leave it off as its not flush with the body and that sucks IMO.

Plus I like the way it tugs on my pubes when I play the whammy bar naked.

Ummm.... I take them off and lose them but I just noticed the G&L still has one. Probably because with typical G&L common sense design, there's a handy lack of plastic over the trem block.

I also noticed it's black while the pickguard is white. So this tells me two things: I have a worrying lack of observational skills and OCD doesn't play any part in my life.

I usually get rid of mine. I don't think my current strat has mounting holes, Eric Johnson style.

I leave it there. At a stage in life ands that's been a while where I like things stock and unmolested. Same with my old cars.

I need an option that says “I leave it on until the first time I need to take it off, then I never put it back on again - no reason”

My trem cover lives in the guitar case for the guitar, which I rarely open as the guitar is always on a stand, but I went in there the other day and found a strap and the trem cover and was quite confused why either of them was there, I think I've got alzheimers or something some days!

The Jackson has its one as its flush mounted. The SX still has its one, but that's because it lives in the case for my JM...

[Fistbump] Rusty springs on junk for me....

My EJ strats all came without one as per artist spec
