So what's the deal with the snap on black round cover on the back? Are those snaps, and is it made to remove? Are there 8 snaps left on the gitter when you take it off, or is that just cosmetics? Never seen anything like it. Belt rash protector?
Whatever it is, it's a really cool looking guitar, and sounds great too! Congrats again, Frank.

Never seen anything like it. Belt rash protector? Whatever it is, it's a really cool looking guitar, and sounds great too! Congrats again, Frank. Thanks Dave! Old 1950's / 1960's Gretsch guitars had a very similar pad , as did the original 1960's version of this guitar and some other Vox models. It was designed to make the guitar more comfortable ( it actually does) in the case of Gretsch guitars it covered a hole where the electronics and mute were installed. Those are snaps , which have the corresponding snaps in the guitar body and one in the control cavity cover. The only time it's removed is to change strings as they are rear loaded like a Tele or hardtail Strat.
