I've been using mostly hardtail, string thru bridges, but I realize most jerry-esque guitars go for the stop bar bridges....
Just started laying out my next one, which will include a wood pickup ring ting, which I am designing now, so I have to decide on the bridge.
I like the hardtail because I do bolt on necks with flat fender-isn bodies so I don't have to fuss with the neck angle much. But is there a tonal advantage to the stop bar style?
I do like the look of a stop bar and bridge, and I could recess the areas they are mounted on....just wondering if there are other reasons beside look and tradition that they might be favored....
