From all that I've read it doesn't make a blind bit of difference weather its through body or toploader. Funky design though and the placebo effect is wonderful when it comes to guitar design.

String tension is apparently affected in both cases. Meaning change in tone. I think there is a vid explaining this on you tube. Or have I misunderstood it all.

String gauge is also important here. Hence some use 9' on long scale and 10' on short. ( I hope I'm not mistaken).
String length, gauge and even materials are still a midterm to me. I'm now researching flats for my TE-90QM and am not sure if I should go with 10' or 11' They are Chrome by Daddario. I need a more mellow jazz tone from this axe. (Another topic I know I know)

Nah the 9' sound too thin. This guitar needs non zingy strings, more bass. I won't be buying anything new until December so Chromes must wait. But I do have Nickel Daddarios 10' which I might put on soon just to give it more "body". Henning and I have different tastes when it comes to tone it would seem which is perfectly ok. Is my TE-90 a long or short scale? I'm still puzzled with which is which Help! (feels like a longer scale as both my LP and ST)

Thanks for the clarification.
The zingy sound could be due to the resonance of the semi hollow which effects the string vibration I would say. This could be remedied with heavier strings. By the way I don't call sitar sound zingy, but rather thin which lacks oomph
