<p>Magnetism has nothing to do with electrical conductivity (at least in the sense we are talking about). Take copper for instance; not magnetic yet the ground wires you are using are probably made of it.</p>
<p>You don't need to solder the wire to the bridge as long as it has and will maintain good contact. You may need to lightly sand the contact point on the bridge if it has some kind of coating on it.</p>

<p>The strings are through the body with ferrules and go over the bridge.. There is a post /stud under the bridge I could use I’d suppose. There’s already a hole to make a ground but I seem to remember trying it....the wire gets soldered to the post or just jammed in there? Thanks!</p>

<p>The usual process for that type is running a wire to the stud cavity before the post stud is pressed in. Do the strings wrap around the bridge or are they terminated else where?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>I have a tuneomatic bridge(no stopbar In this case)</p>
<p>the only metal/magnetic part of the bridge are the actual screws (that hold posts) posts and bridge are not grounding material (think cheapo kind)...gonna try screws for ground...other than that string ferrules are steel but pretty small and awkward for a ground wire.</p>

<p>You should have a ground wire from the bridge/stop tail piece to the back of the volume pot or to the ground lug of the jack.</p>
