The Gotohs and other accurate Kluson replicas are still better though, and have covers made from pressed steel which don't break.

I guess not... I think they look cool. To be open, a lot of "sealed" vintage style ones don't look very well sealed to me at all, I wonder if it's easier to look after open gears in terms of cleaning and lubing anyway.
Love the brass-on-nickel look as well, wonder if I can tie in with the rest of the guitar...
