Ta. It took me ages to find one this nice.

Re. the topwrapping...

I was advised to do it by a tech friend, it reduces the angle the strings reach the saddles at, in theory making it less likely for a string to snap there. (Though admittedly with the quality of these saddles it's not likely)

The main reason I did it though was to make it much easier for me to adjust the intonation. having less downward pressure by the strings on the saddles makes them easier to move.

(I think it looks cool too.)
