I have seen this happen as well Ron... useing one of those little downbearing
gauges... they are kind of short right ??... taping down the strings at the pins
doesnt necessarily change anything at the middle of the bridge (smack inbetween
front and back bridgepins). So you can get more apparent downbearing readings this
if the strings at the bridge pins are lowered and the center remains unchanged.

or what ?
