bump.

help for the electronics n00b plz?

Any wire will do, as long as it is of decent structural quality (ie not f***ed up).

If I remember correctly, one doesn't need to ground/earth the bridge with EMGs. That may not be the case with whichever pickups you are using. You will still need some grounding wires, though, to help make the circuit. Check your wiring diagram!

if you're asking if there is a specific kind of wire that you should use for a ground wire then you probably shouldn't be messing around with it.

Riku, STFU.
I have rewired a guitar, just never had to mess with the ground wire. I am sure you're no electronics genius yourself.

Well, I got the info. :lol
And the wire, got some outta my assload of old wire from misc. electronics. Once again, my fingers act before my brain does. My bad I just gotta get it all wired up.

What kind of guitar are you rewiring?

I had EMGs in my Eclipse I PL and I switched them out for Duncans, there was a ground wire (attatched to the bridge) already in there that had been taped off at the end and wasn't connected to anything when the EMGs were in there. So when it came to put the Duncans in I found the ground wire and wired it up. Great foresight there by ESP !
