Ray Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I have a USA Jazz that I'll be re-stringing soon. I've always strung through the body. I thought I might try stringing through the back of the bridge for a change. I know stringing through the body apparently improves sustain but are there any differences in tone between the two stringing methods? Any advice/thoughts appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've got the same option on my american precision deluxe. I have tried bothover the years and although the general consensus is that through body improves sustain and resonance, I'll be honest and admit that I can't really notice a discernable difference, but I really want to. For the last few years it has been strung through the back of the bridge. I'm about to restring again in the near future, so will go through the body. Will let you know the outcome. All the best Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
