He who does not ask a question remains a fool forever." There are no dumb questions. The only questions that are dumb are those you never asked. Medium strings would put more pressure on the top. | ||

Joined: March 2009 Posts: 416 Location: On the Coast - Halfway between SF & OR | So how's about a guitar with a trapeze tailpiece? (tornado) Does changing the string gauge have any affect on the tension put on the top? My thought is the tailpiece would spread the tension across the top to the point that string gauge wouldn't have much effect. Anybody know for sure? | ||
