Can anyone tell me what the idea is behind it? thanks sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3094 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - 6:20 am:    I have one on both of my Alembic Modified Guild Starfires of which I still own one of. As far as I perceive it is is just an aesthetic issue. I think that an adjustable string nut adds much flexibility for your setup preferences instead.

Completely ornamental. No functional advantage or disadvantage. moonliner Intermediate Member Username: moonliner Post Number: 194 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - 2:38 pm:    Ah, thanks for the info.
