Introduction
How you string your guitar isn’t just about how fast you can change strings. It directly affects tension feel, playability, and even tone character.
When it comes to electric guitars and bass bridges, most players encounter two main stringing methods:
-
Top-Wrap (strings wrap over the top of the bridge)
-
Through-Body (strings pass through the bridge or the body)
Which one suits your playing style? Let’s break it down.
Key Differences
Which Style Should You Choose?
-
If you want a softer touch with easier bending and a vintage feel, top-wrap might be ideal.
-
If you prefer a crisper tone, snappier response, and focused attack, string-through will deliver.
-
The good news? Some bridges—including select Guyker models—support both methods, so you can experiment and decide.
