    In the future if you need a rustlike finish, try Brownells gun parts. Before we blued firearms, we browned them, wich is essentially rusting them in stages till you have a protective finish. I'm not familiar with the process, but Brownells sure is and they have anything you'd need to do it several times over for sale anytime. Just a thought..

I'm torn between Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning as far as my favorite album of all time, I can't decide between the two. That said, I also love St Anger and Death Magnetic is way under rated. Also Garage Inc. has some killer tracks, especially on the 2nd disk. Greatest rock band ever.

    You should do more latching killswitches to SWITCH things up a bit. They're nice as a mute when changing guitars live. You could also do latching switches for coil taps or pick up switching. I'd be interested to see if you could wire up the momentary killswitch to jump between the neck and bridge pickup rapidly to see what that might sound like.
