A Facebook question from our friend Nadiene in Ocean Grove (remember the cool, swirly
LP-1?)
"Nadiene Dini: Any hints if the bridge posts have already been hammered in????"
I've actually pulled out my bridge posts, using the back of a claw hammer (and cardboard to protect the body), but it's not something I'd recommend, especially given Nadiene's kit's excellent finish.
Any other suggestions for earthing the
LP-1 which has been fully assembled?
Hmmm. Good question...
The first work around that springs to mind is this.
Get a length of brass rod, say 4 millimetres diameter.
With a long shanked 4mm drill bit, carefullly drill back from the control rout out to the post.
Place a bead of solder on the end of the brass rod and gently tap it into the hole untill it hits the post.
Solder a wire to the end of rod and then to tone pot.
If I come up with a better idea I will let you know.
Maybe dMac will have a better solution?
