Just bought a used ESP LTD EC-400VF (Les Paul type axe).
It has a JB/59' setup with humbuckers.
After I bought it I noticed quite a bit of hum. Did some debugging and it looks like the bridge cover is not grounded. If I touch it the hum gets crazy.
Before I crack her open... How is this normally grounded? Is the cover soldered to the base plate? Is that likely the issue or is the ground wire more likely the culprit?
No biggie just though I'd try and get insight.
Other than that the guitar rules.
Thanks
