That would be interesting to know. Presumably there have to be larger
holes for the bourdons. Or does it not matter - are the holes big enough
to accommodate the strings whatever their thickness? What happens on lutes
which are octave strung?

So what do the guitars with original bridges with holes show? Are the
holes even at their tops, centers, bottoms or not even at all?

fifth is so thick that it is hard to miss!
