Effect of nut to tuner length

Posted by rockridge98 on 22 Dec 2014 at 23:26 GMT

One question that comes up over and over in guitar forums is whether the distance from the nut to the tuner has any effect on actual or perceived string tension during a bend.
Perhaps the author has an opinion or could address this in future research.
