Default Reverse Tension

I've seen designs like that before. One had the strings spread out all along the bottom of the lower bout. I'll see is I can find some and post them.

The idea is to keep the downward tension on the bridge but not the "pull" that rolls that area of the top forward.

In my mind I have to wonder how much the strings between the saddle and bottom of the guitar resonate and muddy things up. I have problems with the strings above the nut ringing from time to time. Seems that design would be even more of a problem in that regard.

Just my less then humble opinion.
