stuckinthepod Posted January 20, 2015 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

stuckinthepod Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Forgive my ignorance but what is a ramp? Quote
BigRedX Posted January 22, 2015 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
