How to earth (ground) the strings on a cigar box guitar.

Описание к видео How to earth (ground) the strings on a cigar box guitar.

This is my technique for earthing the strings on my typical through-neck cigar box guitars. I earth one string and use a bridge with a machine screw bolt or fretwire saddle to provide earth continuity for all the strings.

You don't have to do this to get your guitar to work, but it will help reduce hums and buzzing that can be amplified via the pickup from electrical sources such as lighting, computers and the wiring circuits in buildings.

I hope this helps all you budding luthiers and cigar box guitar makers.

Bridges and soft faced hammers as used in the video, and lots of other good stuff are available from my online shop
