I can't tell exactly what the strings touch when they go through those holes 
in the capo bar:

It seems like they go up from there, away from the soundboard in the usual 
way, then down over a plate nut on their way to the tuning pin.  What 
exactly forms the front termination?  Do the strings ride against the top 
side of those holes?  And what about the left and right strings: don't they 
buzz against the sides of the holes?

Thanks for the pictures...
