I just tried it (wrapping around the stop tailpiece) in conjunction with lowering my pickups on my 1997 ES 355 Custom Shop - Not sure why, but I noticed a marked improvement in playability, sustain and intonation - weird I know, but I'm sticking with it. Note that I like the tailpiece screwed down all the way to the body and that made the ABR-1 to tailpiece angle quite acute which I know isn't great, but I don't like elevating the tailpiece for a number of reasons. In any case, the guitar has never played better and it's so beautiful!
