And then a little dirt treatment which looks so nice.
Interesting discovery during fingerboard research
I'm doing a comparison of 4 different fingerboards with 3 different playing set-ups. It will be like an article and it is not finished yet. But I did discover something interesting. When setting up a new bridge, I've noticed that even when everything is perfectly centred, When you look from the front, it's like the strings are more to the bass side. I assumed that this is because of the thickness of the strings, and I normally compensate for it by marking the string centres on the bridge slightly more to the treble side. However, there is another reason, and this is because of the way the strings get progressively further from the fingerboard, while staying the same distance apart. It's like they are unfurling and that makes them stretch out towards the bass side as they "unfurl". It's kind of obvious when you think about it. I just hadn't thought about it in that way before.
