Read the post over again. Are the saddles for the strings bakelite? If that's the case your kind of stuck. I am an electronics tech, but have no experience with these old guitars.

Looks versus functionality. The way Mike Neer did it will work just fine. If you can find a more elegant way, go for it. If the bridge isn't grounded, the strings act like an antenna, picking up any s ...

The bridge must be grounded to reduce the hum. Any way you can get from the bridge to another ground point should work. Make sure you have a solid connection.

Really shop around for your case if you go the skb molded route. I bought mine about 10 years ago. The going price was $225 to $250. BPH photo happened to have them on sale for $185. Gator molded case ...
