    Hi Doc, with the saddles so far forward how does the string through position sit amongst all of that? The pics look as though they are buried way underneath which could make string changes a bit of a challenge.

    It's actually not much of a problem because there's enough of an opening in the string-through holes to let the strings pass through, the angle of the strings going over the saddles doesn't seem to be much of a problem either cause all the strings ring-out cleanly with good sustain, I'll post a few more pics.

    With the six string holes in the bridge plate, I found that there was enough of an opening to let the strings pass easily through, putting new strings on the guitar, or re-stringing it is actually not that hard at all.
