I have a LPs tudio with tunomatic

Yup, that's exactly what I did, but like I say, didn't notice any sound/tone difference, just felt easier to bend. Best thing is to try it and see what you think, you may not notice any tone changes but you may like the way it feels to play. Personally I reverted back to the normal way of stringing as I didn't like the feel, (prefer a bit more tension but only use 10 gauge strings), but each to their own I say.

Would +1 the chome damage comment though, didn't happen to mine as only tried it for a couple of weeks, but I should imagine that it would do something to the chrome over a period of time. Having said that, if you like what it does for your sound/playing, then probably doesn't matter a whole load.
