james90 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 going to buy this soon It'll be refinished in 3 tone sunburst though. Not a massive fan of the finish it has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arny Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Like it What do you use to clean the mirror pickguard of an MA without trace? And any tips to keep the fretboard clean and dark? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Usually I just use a microfibre cloth to clean the mirror, I've never really used a polish or anything on it And get some of the fretboard oil from Mansons. Unless your fretboard is really dirty, then you might need something else to clean it first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planet.pgs Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Kill switch vs Kill button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macaroon Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Kill switch vs Kill button Despite never having had either, I'd pick switch for extra morello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Button Easier to control the speed of killing the sound and it wouldn't get in the way at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Kill switch vs Kill button I prefer the Gibson style switch, On-Off-On gives some good speed staccato if needed, and also harder to accidentally end up in the off position. Still able to use it as a volume kill without having to touch the volume knob. It is great for bits where you dial in your volume to that perfect 6.7834, then need to kill the volume. Use the switch, then can go right back to that exact volume setting you had before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 kill switch, just because of the ability to mute the guitar as well (I imagine that's the reason Matt had them in a number of his..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Think it depends what you want to do. I'd say the toggle switch is more versatile and useful overall, but the button has it's own sound. For me, I prefer controlling the "On" than the "Off" though, so a button is a bit counter intuitive in that sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mittle Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If the three-way is in the down position while playing, theres a big chance Ill bump it into middle position while rockin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If the three-way is in the down position while playing, theres a big chance Ill bump it into middle position while rockin' I tend to leave mine in the up position to avoid that, but if I want to be actually using it, I'll toggle it between middle and down. Just feels more natural to me that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I always assumed that Matt had his kill switch installed as he had the Piezo on a separate volume control to the magnetic pickups. I figured it was easier to mute that way than rolling off two volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah, on my custom, I've always found it cool that I can just mute the magnetic signal and keep playing the piezo. If you then roll the magnetic volume back just a tiny bit and have the fuzz factory on, you can have the fuzz factory oscillating unaffected by the strings, because the signal is muted before it gets that far, even if you're still playing the piezo or whatever. If you had three arms, you could do the Hyper Chondriac Music intro effect pretty perfectly just with that, haha! Could also play the piano part with the midi and the GR-55 but you'd have to loop the other stuff first so it's far too much effort, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure my tele which is wired that way mutes both with the kill switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I mean kill switch kills everything, piezo and magnetic. Makes most sense yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 i prefer the switch as a mute when not playing. I might even get them to change the one on the Cort when i get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 the switch is more practical with the whole muting the guitar when not playing thing but the button is definitely more aesthetically pleasing haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - my custom's wired so kill switch is only on the magnetic (which is what I wanted). Magnetic - Kill Switch - Fuzz Factory - Output Piezo - Output Like that I think. Gives me a lot more options with piezo and fuzz factory than if it just killed everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Received it! My goodness, what a beautiful guitar. By far the best made, best sounding guitar I've ever held. And it's all mine now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
