Just noticed that pretty much in every clear picture I can pull up of Jack playing a Starfire back in the day, the strings seem to be strung around the outsides of the tuning pegs... Is this one of those "just because" things or is there some kind of tuning stability or string tension advantage to having a more dramatic break angle? Speaking of break angle, I wonder if this played any role in the famous broken bass string incidents. In any case, I'm genuinely curious. Any ideas or insights?
