i topwrap my les paul too.... it makes it a lot easier bending the .012's on my LP
i think, you'll get the biggest benefit out of it, when you're playing with heavy strings, like me

normally i had to raise the stopbar about 1cm, because the strings were touching the rear end of the bridge, which i didn't like... with topwrapping i can screw that stopbar all the way down, without touching the rear part of the bridge... it works on some LP's but not all, though!
