Wonder if someone can shed a little light for me...
Im building a twin neck cbg which features a diddly bow top neck and 4 string bottom neck. Each will have its own mag pup wired thru a 3 way switch (git only, diddly only, or both - for the more adventurous player!) and a universal tone and volume.
Do I need to run an earth to both necks? I assume if I just earth the 4 strings on the guitar bit, when Im playing the diddly there will be no earthing in effect??
Seems no trouble to run an earth from the back of the pot to each neck, but im not one for doing extra work if it can be avoided!
Thanks!
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm intrigued by your idea. I thought about building something similar. But...what's an "earth"? Are you talking about a ground wire or something?
Oh, actually, as I scrolled down to send this, I see my instincts were right. You were talking about a ground wire.
I definately dont want to have any of that old trouble! Seems easiest thing to do would be use a single bridge running right across the box for both necks, and then to ground that...
Il see how it looks asthetically
Thanks people of the revolution :o)

MY question is how does one "ground" the wire?
