break angle definitely increased, no doubt about that. has the tone improved because of this? well, im not too sure because i changed a bunch of other things on my guitar at the same time so i dont know what is doing what. my guitar sounds waaaay better than before, i'll tell you that much. I tried an interesting little experiment earlier. I needed to re-string an classical guitar and, inspired by this thread, I wanted to see if it was worthwhile converting to a 12 hole bridge. First I had Louis_B play the instrument, then photographed the bridge to illustrate the original string break angle Then, using my very basic woodworking skills, I fabricated a tie-off block, knotted the original strings and re-tensioned. The result was photographed and you can see the string break angle has increased markedly. When played there was a noticable increase in volume, especially the trebles. I was really surprised at the difference - I suspect luthiers won't be[:)]
