it seems like it would cause premature wear, on the strings... where strings hit the fingerboard's bottom's corners edge! insted of hitting on a flat fingerboard surface! but i could be wrong, i've tried it a couple times and it does work (soundwise). i think you will get the answer you're looking for, by the real slappers here on TB!! since i am not really a slapper!! goodluck

Actually i thought that weedwackers (haven't got any experience with 'm) once settled in stay in tune perfectly....
