Alistair specifically said the reason for this design was to maximize the strings energy that gets transfered to the top. Maybe it's because I've had guitars with bigsby's, slot heads, etc, etc, but I really don't see what the big deal is. Just bend the ball end and keep a little tension on the string. It's not that difficult, and you don't need pins or clamps. I think you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
