Ground wire broke off
As I was putting the bridge screw holder nut thing in my new guitar build, the ground wire sheered off from behind it. Taking the nut thing out will be impossible so I was wondering if it would be ok to just run a ground wire to a screw in the wood. Thoughts?

I'm not sure what a bridge screw holder nut thing is but I'm going to guess no. The ground has to attach to a metal part of the bridge to do you any good.

Fixed bridge. Has a bridge, a bolt the bridge sits on and the nut the bolt screws into. When I was pounding the nut into the body it sheered the ground wire off from behind it. Can I just attach the ground wire to a screw in the body?

Tuneomatic bridge?
 The ground wire needs to connect to the bridge stud. You just have to take it back out and redo it. |

Well the best way to remove the stud is to drop something like a ball bearing or two (or some screws, just make sure you don't need them) and screw the post into it. It'll pull the stud back out and you can sort out the wire again.

Also keep in mind that wire needs to be bare where it sticks out.

just strip the wire to where there is about 1/2" of bare wire showing. Then put the stud in over it.
