String tension/saddle height question
Having a Taylor, I am able to adjust my string action without changing my saddle height, so...
I finally got around to getting some shims for my GS8, and made a new saddle, changing the saddle height back to where it should have been. All things equal, does a higher saddle (greater string break angle) increase the string tension? I'm talking about the feel of the strings, as well as the actual string pull...

No and no.

String tension is a function of scale length, string mass and the pitch to which the string is tuned. The break angle has no effect on string tension.
