Mate, that's still a massive help, I'll fire it up on that Dano specific forum and maybe they can give me some answers. I'm currently in love with a little partscaster I built with a friend...so smooth. Thanks for the help! Ethan

If by '8' you mean the string gauge, that's extremely light, and will, in any case, be more difficult to keep in tune for any length of time. In my distant past, I once had a Burns Bison, on which I put a set starting with '7'; it was unplayable, just a cobweb. Your call, of course, but '10' would be my recommendation for most solid-body guitars, and a bit beefier still for archtops. If all that ironmongery is to stop the bridge flapping about, I hope it works. Leo Fender may have approved, or he may not..!
