stuckinthepod Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi all, Been thinking about getting a thumb rest for my Overwater Tanglewood as I'm not comfortable with anchoring my thumb on the pickups. I tend to catch myself anchoring on the top edge of the pickguard. Any pointers on finding the optimum position for a thumb rest as I tend to move position depending on the song. Anyone who has been there and done that retrofitting a thumb rest- your views please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Get yourself some strong double sided tape to try out different thumbrest positions. Worked well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 This: Two pickups with a ramp in-between. Gives me one continuous surface for resting my thumb from the end of the neck almost all the way to the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
