cramis1 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Hi, I am building a guitar and the wiring kit I purchased requires me to ground the bridge. However, I cant seem to get any solder to adhere to the bottom of the bridge, I even filed it and drilled a small hold, but without success. It is some shiny metal (maybe chrome?) that wont adhere. Would there be bad consequences if I did not ground the bridge in the final assembly? For reference, i am using this bridge: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_non-trem_bridges/Top-Loading_Hardtail_Bridge.html Thanks Edited May 11, 2011 by cramis1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElRay Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Place the wire under the bridge, having the bridge keep it in place. I´ve seen people not soldering the ground wire, and it doesn´t seem to affect. Another option would be to buy a small tube of conductive epoxy. I haven't tried it, don't know how it would work.
