| Latest Forum Thread - Stringing over the tail piece |
Anyone know if stringing over the tail piece makes any difference to the sound of the guitar?
I figured it wouldn't effect the action of the guitar because the strings are still hitting the saddle (which controls the height of the strings to the fret board). Anyone ever tried it out? Did it make any difference at all?
The only thing I can think of as to why to do this would be more area of the string hitting the tail piece (which is screwed into the body) so possibly more resonance into the body wood. But that's about it. |
