    Es2v help needed

    Hi All

    Building a ES2V electric and was saved by the plastic tubing but have two questions. How do I earth to bridge? I have put both posts in and did note note a hole for wire access, is there one and if not how do I earth it. Second question is the timber saddle glued in place or just held by string pressure. Thanks for any advice Cheers Stu

    Hey Stu, there should be a hole into the post hole. If not, you will need to drill one back to the cavity.
    The bridge Is a floater so dont glue it.
    Work out the scale length and then place a piece of sand paper grit side up on the body and sand the base of the bridge until it mirrors the contour of the body.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Are you using the trapeze tailpiece? If you don't want to remove your bridge posts you can drill a small hole near the trapeze tailpiece mount (the end strap peg) into the cavity and then earth to the back of the trapeze when it is installed.

    cheers,
    Gav.
