Thanks, Billy Joule. Those tension tables are great. I'm familiar with break angle as a musician, but not from an engineering perspective. Between those tables and reading some books like Marcus mentioned, I should be able to figure out what I'm looking for.

Thank you very much. That's what I'm looking for. I'll go to a library. I didn't know where to begin.

I appreciate the response, but I don't know much about determining vectors (outside of some specific applications I've worked on before). That's my problem. Tension equality makes sense, which I imagine can be determined by some math on string diameter, material type, frequency it is tuned to...

I'm tossing around an idea in my head, but I'm outside of my knowledge base. A guitar string is suspended between two points (nut and a bridge) and tightened to a certain tension. I assume most of the stress is in line with the strings, but force can do funny, counterintuitive things. I want...

Answered my own question. That is really cool.

I'm glad to find this place. For all my wandering around the internet, I just discovered physicsforums. My experience is mostly in electricity and sound, but I like to explore just about anything. I like to learn and help others. I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Guitar-Roy P.S. -...
