tune o matic/stoptail placement

[NonsenseTele]

I don't play high gain, but I could get pinch harmonics without difficulty on my strat w/ string-through TOM, even with medium gain.  Just for you guys... I don't generally use pinch harmonics when I play, mainly because I'm not consistent enough with them.

24,75" or 25,5"?

Re: Pinch Harmonics

I may be stating the obvious, but the type of pick you use probably matters more than scale length or pickup placement etc. Pinch harmonics fly off my acoustic guitar using dunlup ultex jazz III picks. These are my favorite picks now, until I find something better. Although I don't use pinch harmonics much, it's nice to be able to pull them off at will... it's almost like using an octave pedal. I could never get consistent pinch harmonics with "standard" picks, although it's not something I've ever practiced much.
