Yes, I heard the same thing. I have tried different thickness picks. It does not help with the headroom, I hit the ceiling right away, regardless of which pick I use. I admit, I like to lean into the guitar a bit, with stumming that includes a sort of fast fanning. I can do that fine with my wood guitars but the Emerald does need a lighter touch.
It is kind of ironic, a super strong guitar requiring a lighter touch.
