To the guys that have played both:
Why the heck is the 5 way switch so far back on the MEV? Wouldn't it be easier to use having the 509 layout?
The 5 way feels to be at a great spot on my 513 while the not so frequently used 3 way (or mini toggles in the 509) a little bit further away....
I don't have the same issue with the McCarty layout, since a 3 way switch doesn't need that much attention while switching. It only takes a little thought going in the middle position. On a 5 way on the other hand it looks more strange to change from the 4th to the 2nd position that far back and have to also look not to hit the mini toggles next to it.
On the 513/509 layout the pickup switches are "separated" by the volume and tone controls and you clearly know where is what, if that makes any sense....
Any thoughts?
