Tapped harmonics are excellent fun, for a very early example of tapped harmonics (and other sillyness heres Adrian Belew (when he as with Bowie) back in 1978

It takes a while for him to get started but once he starts I like it a lot ;) (yeah pre EVH)

Oh yeah look for some Stanley Clarke as he was doing some mad bass tapped harmonics in the 70s too

He was around, but I think he was still turning his back at that point in time.

Hey no Floyd Rose in that guitar

It's worth searching for Belews stuff on youtube
