grunge... apology accepted. I'll chalk it up to youthful exuberance. I'm 44, so yes... I'm old (but not dead yet).
I did mean OVER the tail piece (cigar tube). And you guys are right. It would make the strings nearly clear the saddle.
When bought the Mustang, my friend had it strung straight through the tail piece, not back and under. He wondered why the Trem bar hardly worked. Go figure.
I do know where I have seen something similar, but it was on a Les Paul. Most are strung straight through, but I have seen them strung back and over. Still don't know why you would.
