[St-Jimmy]

which do you all prefer? Does one hold tuning better than the other?

There has been loads of threads like this earlier.

But to give my short opinion, i think that string-trough-body brigdes tend to give the axe a fatter, but deader tone. Whereas stop tailpieces tend to produce lower string tension, less lows\mids and more treble.

Just my 2c.

I am of the opinion that I have no opinion.

I like them all.

String-through is more pimptastic.

Dosent matter to me! This falls in the realm of one of the recent threads called, "Set neck, neck through, bolt on".

If the guitar sounds good, I dont care! I have played stop bars that have sounded good and bad and the same goes for string throughs!

+1 Dave! I would have to agree that it doesn't matter so long as the guitar sounds great and has what you want.

That said I like my string-through Ibanez, but I could probably like a stoptail just as easily.
