Hey Wes. Going from the ground contact on the jack to either tail piece, strings or nut still gives me an open on meter, but does reduce noise a bit. Going from ground on jack to my body really cuts down on noise. Thinking I'm going to make some kind of strap and wedge it between strings and board behind the bridge. Maybe I can lay my palm across that area to help in reducing noise.

Thanks Wes!! I just posted a vid. Need to get creative for a ground. Glass board and glass bridge make it challenging.

I hot glued the pup adjustment screws to the glass & the pup leads to the wood frame. Seems to be well supported. Also hot glued glass nib to glass, rock solid. Gave it a quick sound test & it sounds great. I need to just finalize fret markings.

How'd you hang that pickup on there?
