lovekraft Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Unless you're using EMGs or some other active pickups, the bridge should be grounded to help shield the pickups and lower the noise level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a hole leading to the tremolo cavity, ground a wire from any ground point in your guitar, (probably the back of the volume pot), and solder it to the claw of the tremolo. See here, this is the back of my peavey. You may want to scratch yourself a rough spot on the tremolo anchor claw, the solder will stick easier on the rough surface. Otherwise, the smooth surface may not hold the solder at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
