Re: Breedlove strung over tailpiece
I have two Breedloves. I've always strung (?) them the normal way and never had a problem with any of the strings, including the G. I have that tailpiece on one of them and it is a PITA to work with. Stringing over the top might make a re-string easier but I can see how it would improve the sound.
