holes in the springs cover?

u know, cover plate over the backside of the body. theres floyd rose springs inside of it. can somebody xplain what is the purpose of the holes in there?

i build a cover for modded body, is it necessary to build some holes?
like the original?

[font=trebuchet ms]Are there 6 holes?

Strats with trems had holes in the back cover to allow the strings to be installed with out taking the cover off. There's no need for 'em with a Floyd Rose trem, but I see a lot of guitars with those holes in the cover anyway.[/font]

A standard Strat style trem cover has either 6 holes or a rectangle cut out. This is to give access to the trem block when you are installing strings on a strat style bottom loading trem or hardtail. Most companies that use trem covers probably buy their trem covers from the same manufacturer as Fender... so they use the same design. The holes are useless on a Floyd Rose, and you don't need them. They do serve a purpose on a Stratocaster with a bottom loading bridge (Tremolo or hardtail). So, no... you don't need to include those holes when you make a custom cover.

ok, thanx! :D
