Beautiful guitar. Nice job. did you ground the bridge?

[@WoodPortGuitars]

Thank you! Yes I did ground the bridge. I ran the ground wire up out of the lid under the bridge. I sanded the paint off the bottom of the bridge, maybe a 1 inch square. I also took a low E string, wound string, and ran it through the string paths, back and forth, to take the paint off where the string makes contact with the saddle pieces. I had to go through all of that because it was painted, or coated. The chrome bridges, no sanding necessary, but I don't know about the gold bridges, if they are conductive on the surface. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Cheers!!

What products did you use for the original finish?

[@WoodPortGuitars]

The paint is Rustoleum Painters Touch 2X Ultracover Flat Black. The clear coat is the same, Rustoleum 2X Clear Lacquer Semi-Gloss. 3 - 4 coats of each paint and clear, with a light sanding with 320 grit sandpaper , between clear coats. I use this paint because I can get it at my local Ace Hardware, close to the shop. I am sure there are better paints, but I am happy with the results I get from the Rustoleum. Thanks D!
