I usually remove the middle pickup in guitars when I get a model with HSS configuration. Would this have any affect on tone or especially your pinch harmonic range?

It shouldn't have any affect at all. -
If anything it would improve it slightly (less magnetic drag on the strings). I usually just lower them way down (I'm a "deep picker" and my pick scrapes them otherwise)._________________________________________________

i used to take the middle pup out too but my picking has changed somewhat and now I pick damn near over the neck pup and almost on the neck.. and its not as deep picking as I used to do either
Reason I rewired my jackson with a 3 way tele style switch in the first place as I never used the middle pup so i took it out .. well AND I always picked above it..i just put the middle pup back in a few weeks ago but its disconnected and lowered.. eventually ill hook it up but ,Just haven gotten around to rewiring it up..Ill keep the 3 way and wire a toggle switch for the middle to turn it on and off, instead of wiring it up with a 5 way.. I like the option of using the neck and bridge at the same timeLast edited by Brandenburg; 01-08-2014, 08:31 PM.GEAR:

Yes, but only for that pickup.

I want to go out nice and peaceful in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and hollering like the passengers in his car.

This belongs in the Tech Q&A section.
This is what I think of Gibson since 1993.
I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! 
I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.
