The loop does stand the string = elevation  a bit higher off the plate & this needs to be taken into consideration especially when setting up a new bridge height. With an = old bridge your stuck with what you got unless you drop the plate a mm or = so to accommodate the change before restringing.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   Dale Erwin</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px = solid"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 = size=2><BR>I suppose tho that  since the loop (being thicker) will force the = string <BR>to come off the hitch pins a bit higher then otherwise.
