Post subject:  Grounding wire?

I'm finishing up a mosrite inspired guitar.

I want to run a ground wire from the studs that anchor the bridge (modern Les Paul-ish bridge)

What gauge and type of wire do I install? Braided? Single wire?

Let me know best practice.

Thanks.

Electronically, it doesn't matter - anything conductive will do the job just the same.

Just don't go too light, for durability purposes (can be a pain to have to pull a stud bushing if it breaks). Something in the 22ga range, solid or stranded is fine.
