!!METAL MATT!! Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Ok now I have a choice of doing Some coil taping stuff an Im thinking about useing A mini toggle switch or Im thinking A push pull Pot What Do you guy's think? !!METAL MATT!!

Digideus Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I would have said this was personal preference of the person playing it. Thing is, as far as electrics go, I prefer one Vol pot right beneath where I pick so I can control the volume easily No tone control cos I never use it. In that scenario, having a push/pull pot would be ideal, but its not for everyone. I cant say I really like them myself, and I prefer a latching button or switch of some kind away from the Vol Pot, more toward the neck away from the picking area. Like I said, thats me, and I guess that a lot of you disagree, which is why I said personal preference (see what I did there? Clever wasnt it!) In fact thinking about it, why not look into lacthing buttons? you could get a chrome arcade machine style latching button and put a bat logo on it with a chrome plastic surround, and you could wire in one of those annoying MR.T voice Box things so it says "I PITY THE FOOL!!!!!" every time you change the pickup!!!! AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWESOME! ← That's awesome. I have that keychain.. my boys ran around the house for about 3 months saying "shut up foo!" I don't like push pulls personally. And i never use a tone knob. I do a lot of volume control with my pinky while i'm playing.. a habit of strat players.. and push pull would be irritating that way. keeps the face of the guitar clean though. What might be kind of neat is a little 3 way toggle where middle is normal, one side is tapped and the other side is a kill switch.. Could be useful for kill switch effects and a good place to hide the coil tap control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 "I PITY THE FOOL!!!!!" Well I think That Would Be A bit two much What might be kind of neat is a little 3 way toggle where middle is normal, one side is tapped and the other side is a kill switch.. Could be useful for kill switch effects and a good place to hide the coil tap control. Well I think I want to keep the top clean so I may go with the Push Pull Pot But Im that There Yet so I have Time to think about it! EDIT: Oh ya had to cut and reglue the body tonight Im not sure why but we had A big gap on the glue line I dont think I made te glueing surface Flat enough But it look's good now I'll have Some Pic's soon once I get them from jeremy.

suregork Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Ok for Me it's between The 1. blood red to a lava orange burst Or 3.black to blood red burst !!METAL MATT!! ← I don't think a red-to-orange would look so good on that guitar, but a black to red would make it amazing. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, that's one hell of a good job you've done, and nice design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum5545 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Maybe I missed it, but what's the top wood? Personally, I think you should go with orange to red, but transparent on both counts. If you aren't going transparent, go with black and red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
