Dear Brains Trust,
I have nearly completed my Hofner kit and I'm pretty pleased with it.
I'm not entirely satisfied with the fixed bridge and have decided to manufacture a brass/chrome plated bridge as I'd prefer to adjust the intonation as well.
All that aside, I have a minor electrical problem. The electronics don't seem to be working properly. One pick up doesn't seem to work and the other is a bit buzzy.
I note that there was a spare piece of wire with the kit and I'm thinking it's an earth wire to the bridge/strings, but I'm not sure. There doesn't appear to be a spot to attach the wire.
It's the only thing I can think of as the problem - wiring the pickups is pretty hard to get wrong.
So does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Stu
