String Grounding

Re: String Grounding

A .002 mfd capacitor wired in the ground to the strings parallel with a 220 k resistor will eliminate the potential of a lethal shock without affecting the hum reducing function of the string ground.

Re: String Grounding

how do you ground the strings without getting that effect where you get less noise when you're touching them?

Re: String Grounding

A proper shielding job will reduce the overall noise level. It makes little if any difference if I'm touching the strings or not on my Yamaha, but there is a noticeable diference with my 335, which isn't shielded.
