I dunno...I can get pinch harmonics super easy on both my EC-1000 and my Strat with Tex-Mex singles. The Strat I've had forever, it was my first guitar. Had the Tex-Mexs in there for quite a long time as well. I think it really does come down to technique and finding the sweet spot(s) on the guitar (picking hand). I use very low to medium gain when playing my Strat because I play blues-rock with it...yet I can pull pinches out anytime I want, and they are very prominent. I think because I've had the guitar and played it so long I have found all the sweet spots for different things, so that helps. My EC-1000 I attribute to the same reasons.
