Sorry if it's been covered, but what is the advantage of top wrapping strings over the tail piece? Sustain?

For sure top wrapping a 54 should be left to the heavy hitters like Renderit, so please bear that in mind! With that little disclosure out of the way, you might want to try doing a top wrap on your next string change and see if you like it. That is the only way you will know if it is what you want. A lot of it is going to be about the feel, and that is highly personal.
If you are concerned about loosing your Mojo by simply raising the Tailpiece, don't be. I think that the claims of increased "tonal transfer" with the tailpiece all the way down/studs all the way in do not bear out in listening the way they would theoretically hint to. Easy to try on your guitar, just like the top wrap.
If you do the top wrap, have fun and do report back. What are you top wrapping?
That safety helmet doesn't have cupholders mounted on the sides by any chance?Don't try this at home! I wore (and still wear) a safety helmet. I am a professional, people! Village Idiots Guild #77
Gibbons and Page too.. That's were I knicked the idea. I'm my case it makes the strings that 11-52's feel like 10-48... :salude

I've been thinking about trying it with my 13-56 Flat Wounds, maybe make them feel like 12-52 :rofl:rofl:rofl
And nothing is cooler than Page at the Albert Hall in 1970 with his #1 LP when he had it top wrapped and it still had the double white bridge pup
Flat's? uh Nooo...
