    grounding the bridge

    On the post bushing before you put the post in the body.  There is (should always be) a hole from you rear body cavity to the post bushing hole.  You can solder it to the post bushing before you press your bushing in.  Run your ground wire through the body cavity and through the bushing hole...

    Epiphone SG special how do i make it have a real toggle switch

    Dude, four pots on a LP are two volumes and two tone pots, each set controls one pick up, the "REAL" toggle switch allows you to play when down the bridge pickup, when up the neck pick up and when in between both pickups together.  I don't know what the fake toggle switches do.

    I cut a notch in a Jim Dunlop .73 nylon pick (thumb end) square the size of the flats on the nut (like a box wrench) and slide it on before I tighten my set screw. It gives me enough clearence for the dome nobs to turn freely. Bootlegger.
