    The risk is that it will create another place for the strings to catch when tuning. If anything you created a more acute angle on the strings. It will interesting to hear back in a 6 months if you still think it is a viable solution.

    Yeah, I was thinking that when I was tinkering with it and figured there was nothing to loose trying it out. And it's no different to the angles created with the String Butler proper. And I'm aware that the strings could bind there and the bind point isn't super smooth or a roller sutuation. But the beauty of it is that there is no permanent modification done and no cost outlay. For now, it's working for me and yes time will tell in terms of how it works out in the long run. Just thought I would share the love if anyone else was interested in trying it out or furthering the idea.
