So I bought a Detonator, not because I need it but because it was cheap and that's my favorite feature in a guitar.
Here's a sellers photo (Dave's Guitar.) It's not as though I'm going to take a better one:
Anyway, I have a couple of questions. The first is about the truss rod cover, which is missing on my guitar. At first I thought it was just a simple of plastic roughly triangular in shape. But with guitar in hand, I can see that it must have been curved in order to fit with the Fender style zero degree peghead angle. That'll make it harder to reproduce!
What does anyone have to say about the TRC on these?
The other question is one that I expect to get only guesses on, but guesses are welcome. The back of the headstock has two tiny screw holes that had screws in them at one time. The holes are in a place consistent with the clip seen on this other detonator (on Reverb):
So the question is, what's the clip for? If it's of any interest, the guitar on Reverb is the only one I've found on the web that appears to have a factory installed Floyd Rose like mine. All the others look like Kahlers or Guild branded Kahlers. Is the clip related to the bridge? Maybe a tool with the appropriate size hex heads for the double locking stuff? OK, I think I just answered my own question...
