There some schools of thought that praise the bigsby performs better if you keep the strings over the front bar, that being said as long as the break angle ends up lower than the bridge. Their thoughts are that reducing the break angle (at the bridge) helps tuning stability and returning to pitch easier. I'm waiting on mine to arrive and will be trying both approaches.
