intalling strings.

any idea why art davis (RIP) installed his strings like this?

does it have something to do with the afterlength angle over the bridge?

I have no clue but I think it looks really bad!!

Maybe it increased the tension on the table and he got a louder tone?

i did that for a while when my E was sounding dull. it seemed to work. eventually changed to a heavier string and didn't need it any more.

I've seen several people do this for a supposed improvement in tone.
