Surface prep. The most important part of bonding.

@scottkramer7431 Indeed! I don't know why my brain ever thought the wax would hold for the long term on that smooth surface.

My teles p/ups are grounded by solder on the wire side which prevents alot of probs....and grnds the strings.....👍👍

[@daveydacusguitars9033]

You can ground the bridge plate for extra insurance, but I haven't found it to prevent the microphonic issues associated with tele bridge pickups.
It gets grounded anyway from the bridge ground wire, to the bridge, to the pickup mounting screw, and then to the bridge plate, as the screw is threaded directly into the plate and not the bobbin. I haven't seen issues yet with ground noise or buzzing.
Thanks for watching!!

double sided gaffa tape would have done the job faster

[@daveydacusguitars9033]

Possibly. I wanted it to be a permanent and lasting bond, with zero chance for vibration whatsoever. No doubt that tape is some strong junk though!

[@daveydacusguitars9033]

Also, thanks for watching!!

[@gingertaylor1955]

I had this Problem in the 80er.......and fixed it with Double sided gaffa......and it still holding Up👍✌️

[@daveydacusguitars9033]

I really can see where it could last as long as needed. Conventional or not, I can see where it would do the job.
Mainly, I don't have a lot of personal experience with that tape, and I don't keep any on hand. So it never occurred to me to use it.
Just using what I know and what's around me to solve the problem.
Good to know though!
