• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Tele W-Bigsby string ground problem

Any tricks for this?
I dont want to drill any holes or run an exposed wire across the face of the guitar between the tailpiece and the bridge pickup plate although the latter would be probably the least objectionable.
Problem is the ground is continually compromised when the floating bridge moves, sometimes the strings ground and sometimes they dont.
I havent seen one of these for 20 years and dont recall this problem although I would guess its common on these, is it?
