ES-335 (trini) kit grounding wire issue

[Barno]

I had a funny feeling about the grounding issue. Weirdbits or DrNomis might be able to explain it. I have no EE background, but my understanding is that buzz is often the result of your unsheilded parts acting sort of like an antenna. That is particularly an issue with pickups. You ground the bridge primarily to ground the strings. Perhaps the strings act as sort of a shield for the pickups? In any case, glad to hear that the buzz went away ;-)

Any solder job that works is a good one IMHO. Also, good call attending to the toddler ;-)

Hi there I'm just finishing my build. I have 3 of the 4 posts for the bridge etc. I have my ground wire stuck through into the hole where I'm going to hammer the last bridge screw mount....

....but do I just poke the wire through and hope some of it connects with the bridge post as I hammer it in?
Is there more to it than that?

I've attached a photo if that helps - suggestions / advice welcome!! thanks
