Also, low action guitars even with high bridge are not always loud, probably because when the strings buzz by hitting the frets, the oscillation is not allowed to be so efficient. (?) So, I think the neck/fingerboard angle and height has something to do with it too. Meaning, these guitars with raised fingerboard and super high bridges, are not super loud guitars (like Humphrey millenium). So higher tension strings regain volume on low action guitars. Anyway, just my thoughts, not based on any real physics.

Ok, I see now. So the break angle behind the bridge is not necessarily the thing then. That makes more sense based on experience. I have seen guitars with shallow break but high action that are still louder than guitars with a steep break and very low action.

What's the break angle?
