Trapeze on a 555/535

[jazzalicious]

Hey anyone convert their 555/535 stoptail to trapeze and if so, did it affect string tension feel or tone?

I haven't converted to a trapeze, but my 530 came with one. The tension is marginally looser than my stoptail 535 and 555. I doubt if there are any tonal differences between the two.

Anyone who bought one of these with stock trapeze, please let me know about differences in feel especially, but also sustain and tone versus a stoptail

Thanks

Lots of discussion all over the internet on such things. This one
