80LPC Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 To the tailpiece. Of course, the bridge is also grounded via the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 To the tailpiece. Of course' date=' the bridge is also grounded via the strings.[/quote'] Is the tailpiece ground necessary? I wanted to add a maestro tremolo but I don't know how to rerout the grounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yeah I think I recall the wire being in the hole for the right tail piece stud when I have removed them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yeah I think I recall the wire being in the hole for the right tail piece stud when I have removed them before. What? It doesn't press against the bushing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 oh I mean the insert that the stud screws in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 So just to clarify, it presses between the bushing and the wood or the bushing and the tailpiece screw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevoT Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 so it is just pressed between the tailpiece screw and the wood but it isn't connected to anything, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80LPC Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The ground wire is trapped between the insert and the wood. The other end is soldered to a volume pot to become part of the ground circuit. When you touch the strings, the electrostatic charges in your body are sent to ground. If the pickups and control cavity are correctly shielded, there is no need for the ground wire to the tailpiece.
