I recently bought a 2nd hand Epiphone V. The tailpiece was rusted and badly damaged. I tried finding a replacement part, but couldn't find in locally (South Africa). Even after importing one from Amazon, it wasn't exactly the same size.
Without thinking it through, I spray painted the tail piece. It now looks great, but this morning I realized that there's a grounding wire touching the tailpiece, which probably means it needs to be conductive, that I have now prevented.
Am I in trouble?
