It is a topic of much conversation in the HG world. It also becomes a real problem when you start amplifying your guitar. Unmuted subs ringing out through a PA is a real bummer.
It depends on the guitar also, some are super responsive and some are not. Andy Walberg says he doesn't really worry about muting because the notes on his Dyer die off quickly. Stephen Bennett has spoken about muting many times and considerers it essential.
I use palm muting most of the time, but depending on what you are playing on the guitar neck it is more like muting the subs with your wrist.
