<p>Altering the stringing method can't change the tension in the string. It may change the pressure on the bridge saddles, but the tension in the string will remain the same. String tension for a given scale length and string gauge can't change unless you alter the tuning, it's just a law a physics! Here's my take on through stringing a hardtail bridge.<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O-26Cj2F2WA?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

<p>Hi, this is how I do it. Neck block size varies depending on 6 or 3 string CBG.<br/> My aim is to keep as much timber out of the box as possible if its an acoustic instrument. And the top as free to vibrate as possible.<br/> <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8800231056?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8800231056?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center"/></a> <br/> <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8800231660?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8800231660?<br/>%3C/body"/></a></p>…

<p>Four screws, like a strat. I have a mahogany heel that stick out. Only two of the screws are visible from the outside. I'd snap a pic, but I haven't yet gone back & sanded & finished the heel.</p>
<p>When you get to thinking about all the different ways to build a CBG, there are a lot of details to work out.</p>
