Recommendation for a kill switch.

[BigBellyRocker]

I'm thinking about putting in a kill switch on one of my guitar. I have too many of the same guitars so I trying to add different features to some of my guitars. Can someone recommend a few options?

Huh? I mean a kill switch like EVH.

A momentary push-button ala Buckethead. As long as you keep the button pressed down, sound will be off. Let up on the button, sound comes back on. You can even go fancy and get buttons that light up when engaged, etc. Really any momentary push-button that has a solid feel without too much resistance will work. Just a button from Radioshack will do. But it has to really feel solid when you push down on it (at least when you're doing fast stutters with the kill).

I had one installed in one of my guitars years ago and LOVED it. I'm about to do it again to another guitar.

My Jackson Broderick has a toggle style kill switch that I like a lot. Looks way better than that big red button that's in Scott Ian's guitars.

Thank you...Does this fit inside a guitar pickguard?

Just saw these things pop up on eBay a week or two ago. Now it seems like all of the push-button guys want one. Lol

To the OP: If you are still interested in a kill switch, Tesi has a lot of styles available including the arcade buttons, the LED rings like Rick Lee used in his Wolfgang, and a lot more.

There are also some latching options available. Next week I'll start offering a 16MM LED ring that is latching and the LED goes from green (on) to red (off), but with a moderate amount of pressure it can also act as a momentary switch for the stuttering guitar effect.
