animalfarm Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It's for grounding the strings. It's for grounding the strings. (ALL together now...) It's for grounding the strings. Replace it properly, otherwise you'll be experiencing "humming/buzzing" that only goes away if you touch the strings, tailpiece, bridge... That out of the way - WHAT are you planning for your GIT????

animalfarm Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Willy, it's an Epi LP Ambidextrous Homo Erectus Plus Top. Sjael's double-cut tele thread made me think about it! Love your Idea, Sjael - I'll respond in the proper thread. Haven't had a lot of time to hit the forum lately, been spending about 4 hours a day playing/practicing - Night Ranger Leads, Whitesnake leads, Skynyrd leads. Ahhhrrrgghh! Anyway, gotta bail to work for few. Interested in seeing PICS of the latest LP Special project as you go!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
