HengistPod Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Does anyone happen to know which post the brdige earth wire goes to on a Gibson Thunderbird (1991)? Also, how does a chap go about extracting the posts from the body? Do they pull straight out, or rotate like a screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Although I can't speak specifically about your 1991 Thunderbird, any time I've worked on a three point bridge the earth wire goes to the post nearest the control cavity, the one nearest the G string ball end. Having had a couple decide to part company with the wood of their own accord I can tell you that they pull straight up, they are not threaded. Same sort of idea as these guitarry ones... Removal? Screw the bolt into the insert then use the bolt to pull up on the insert. Or do what I did once - have the audacity to want to stretch my new strings.
