Cutlass Maintenance & Setup

I just recently received my purchase of Cutlass RS HSS EB Stealth Blk. It is my first MM guitar and I like it!

I am concerned over what seems to be a gray wall blocking access to maintenance, setup and technical information about the guitar. As I have played the guitar over the last couple of weeks, the bridge cover has become the slightest bit loose. I want find out the technical details of how the bridge cover is attached before I simply start taking my new $3000 guitar apart in an exploratory fashion. I read this this thread…

… where the user was asking about removing the bridge cover but the question was not answered. It was changed to “you don’t need to remove the cover”. All this and my inability to find maintenance information as well as replacement parts sources is concerning.

I also want to understand the guitar circuitry. It has a battery/battery port, but NO information was provided or available that speaks to what the battery is doing (pre-amp I presume but what are the features – what is the wiring – what are the details)?

Is it Music Mans general policy to block end users from working on or maintaining instruments or having easy access to this info?

I don’ t want to start life here in a negative fashion. I would like to think Music Man is a dream company not only in high quality instruments but customer support as well. Am I just missing something?

Any information would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks
