VanKirk Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Can anyone tell me the best way to ground a top-mount hardtail bridge on a rear route body? It's a Hipshot 'Babygrand' bridge. I was thinking that after I drill the stud holes I could drill another hole that runs from the bridge pup cavity to the stud hole and run the ground wire from the bridge post to the bridge pup wire route and into the rear control cavity. Does this seem like the right way to ground this bridge? Hipshot Products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Usually there is just a hole drilled from the electronics cavity over to the stud hole and a bare wire is placed inside running from the stud over to the top of the volume pot. Just insert your stud and your grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 What brian said is typical, what you said will still work. I'd do what ever is easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hey, be sure to let us know how you like that bridge after you get everything set up. I love the look of that thing, sure would like to know if it sounds as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry_jeremy Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 On my Duo-Sonic the ground wire is just squashed between the bridge and the body (the bridge has no plating where the wire contacts it). I dunno if this is a crappy way to do it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
