riffster Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) All of the guitars that I own are grounded in the tremolo cavity. I am building a guitar with a Tunomatic bridge. How do I string ground a tunomatic? Where is a good spot to do it. It is going to be recessed so do I have to somehow connect a wire to the bottom of the bridge? I'm confused.

zyonsdream Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 drill a hole from the bridge pickup cavity into the post hole for your TOM bridge feed the wire through the hole and when you push the bushing into hole it connects with the ground wire.

avengers63 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Shouldn't the hole go from the bushing hole to the control cavity and connect the wire to the common ground on the back of a pot, which then goes to the jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 That's the typical scenario, yes. I use a washer in the control cavity as a common ground instead of the back of a pot, but it's the same idea. Really, though, as long as the wire ends up joining the common ground path without creating a ground loop, there's no actual rule. Whatever it takes.
