9v Battery Cover

  My 9v cover on my ltd h401qm is super stuck in the guitar. I have tried sticking a suction cup on the cover and lifting, but its not moving at all. How can I remove it without damaging the guitar?

Using a toothpick to pry it open using one of the screw holes usually works for me.

I've had stubborn ones where I needed a tiny eyeglass screwdriver to open. Just remember to not

try and force it open with brute strength or  your next question here will be where you can buy a new cover.

Thanks Cogan! I was able to slide a super thin pick in between the cover and the wood and used  a small swiss army knife to get under it. I sanded the cover down with 120 grit sandpaper until it went in easy.

Good to hear! A lot of times those back covers will expand or shrink because of different temperatures and it becomes a pain when they swell.
