Yeah, partial muting. I can full mute ok, but with a TOM bridge, for example, I can sort of "roll-on" the "degree of mute". It's the low bridge more than anything causing a problem. It's not giving me a position with enough wrist flexion (for me).

Oh, well. The Strats been a little neglected since I got the PRS anyway. There's a guitar with everything in the right place for the right hand. ( Except the pup selector; that could have been more handy. )

Thanks for the input, guys. It was an evolution getting to Not Hate the volume knob in the first place, so I just need to go a little further for this last bit.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
