It will also be easier on your pocket.I would change out the pickups to a D-Sonic and Air Norton though.I just put them in my 7 string and it sounds 1,000,000x better.

Makes sense really, I've always done something similar with dropping down the wammy then hitting a natural harmonic, but not quite in the same way. Though I never listen to any Dimebag so I've never tried to copy him, I just play them anyway.
