low action means less sustain for harmonics, maybe that's the problem.
Try increasing the height a bit -------------------- Visit my:

Maybe you just have to get used to a little higher action.

Each guitar has it's unique action range that is usable. You should find correct balance that you prefer as a player of your guitar. If you own a guitar, and know it's action range, and you know how you play, then you should make a decision about the setup.
Spend some time with your guitar, play all the notes, see if any note is buzzing, having different tone, or sustain then another (preferably, on a quality instrument, all notes on all frets should sound very similar in terms of quality of tone and sustain) In general, playing "fast" doesn't require super low action, as you won't "save your time" by lowering the strings to frets for a fraction of an inch, you will save your time by practicing on slow tempos, and making your fingers work properly. I think you should try to raise the pickups a bit, search for PH sweet spot above the pickups, and get to know your new guitar. Raise the action a bit, and see if that works for you. You should find the balance with your instrument, it's made to be adjusted. Some players will raise the action quite a bit to remove buzzing and play aggressive chords. If you play softer but faster, like to do tappings and PHs, keep the action low as possible, but in the area where it will enable you to do everything you like on the instrument. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
