And its treble side of the stop tail stud, never seen that on any of the Gibsons i have worked on, but this is a Chibson lol
Tell me about assumptions catching you out... I didn't run the ground wire at the start on my mate's guitar because I assumed I'd remember to install it before bashing the bushing in... fail...
yes fellas never assume anything. I've built half a billion kits - well almost and drove a longer neck screw through a fingerboard couple of weekends ago - found out after the neck screws were about 5mm longer than they should have been
Ahh right sorry, can you drill a small hole in the bottom of the bushing?Quote:

Just spoke to a mate whos a Luthier of many moons. As simple as putting a smaller screw down the bushing, head side down and tightening up the TOM bolt with a flat head screw driver.
Back to Fenders for simplicity for me lol
Okay, so that's the rig I came up with:

That's using an M8 bolt with a mudguard washer:

:D Glad you got it!
Me too!
I tried putting a smaller screw down the bushing as Tony suggested but it's a basswood body and I could feel the screw was embedding itself in the wood while the bushing wasn't moving... Got scared it was going to come through!
Anyway job done. And we now have a wire in the right spot!
