I have both kinds on my LP's. It doesnt matter because it is the saddle itself that is the determining length. Also intonation is a factor, you really need the same kind and size strings properly intonated.

That was a revelation to you? My earliest recollection of anything related to that was playing with an old Gibson archtop when I was about seven years old. I thought it was cool that the strings sounded different if you picked them near the bridge or up on the neck. I didn't know the physics but I knew the sounds. Playing electrics later in life that sort of thing was assumed - a no-brainer.

Anyway - you do realize your statement about R9s was a load of horseshit, right? The pups are not deliberately positioned farther from the bridge than on other LPs. Some of 'em just come out that way.

I never said they were "deliberately" positioned. Please try to be accurate.

Oh I knew all about picking techniques and different sounds when I was a 'Wee One" the pickup spacing and output ratio occured to me when I was about 20. Sorry I wasnt a "Quick Learner" like you.

Wtf are you babbling about?

In one pic the LP has an ABR bridge, right?

In the other a Nashville, right?

The Nashville is a wee bit chunkier than an ABR, no?

I've got an ABR on my R4 and it's as close as any Nashville.

We are not comparing ABR-1 and Nashville Bridges, nor am I comparing R4's, having never had one on my bench. I am comparing R9 to LP Classic and Standard.
Just go look at the pictures it is quite noticable.

This thread should probably have been closed long ago. But like looking at a bad wreck on the highway, I can't seem to not watch the carnage..

Carry on. :)

Regardless of the differences between the 2 styles of bridges, it is the distance to the saddle I am talking about. I measured with my digital calipers. It was almost a 1/4".

It is all rather silly isn't it? I hope it's obvious to anyone wandering in for guitar info that VP is not gonna be yer go to guy.

Yes I do "Get It". Do you think the majority of guitar players would prefer if the output was expressed in "RMS Millivolts" @ 1KHz referenced to a specific input impedance? Should they factor in the equation 2xPixFxL=Z for "Inductive Reactance"?

Wow, That's some nice googlin' there.
Pete, I've got to hand it to you. You can rev up a search engine as well as anyone I've ever run across.

Does Seymore have any graphs?
