I was looking at the bridge on the Green Hornet today
and noticed two stringing positions, low and forward or
up and back. As neither is a thru-body arrangement, I
was curious what the impact of changing from one to
the other is?

Thanks,

Personally, I always used the lower ones. It seems to put more pressure on the saddle point, which in theory helps intonation. It also seems to stiffen up the string tension some.
