I hear this all the time with short scale guitars or 12 fretters, i.e. this moves the bridge down onto the sweet spot of the top to make a more responsive great sounding guitar. If this is the case, why is the bridge not placed there all of the time and the scale length adjusted to that placement on all guitars. It seems like it is always said that is the honey hole for the bridge, but it is only moved down on short scale guitars?
Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom. Remember, almost every classical guitar in the world has a 12 fret neck, no matter what the scale length. These people play without amplification the most, and need to coax every bit of acoustic sound out of their axe.
Physics... go figure!
