That is a moot question indeed... To string through or not to string through...
String through will give better sustain as this setup has the effect of marrying the bridge to the body.
Normally the bridge is sitting on the body and you lose some sustain as a result.
So, I guess it is a matter of personal preference and playing style.
If you were to string through, couple that with yor neck fitting nice and firmly in the pocket you could end up with a Guitar that will sustain for ages..
I build most of my customs as neckthrough and string through.
My fave Bass sustains long enough for me to go make a coffee, smoke a ciggie or two, walk the dogs, go down town and do some shopping, come back and have a nanna nap, make another coffee........... OK.... So that might be a slight exaggeration but you get the idea
