  • I have humbuckers, there is no ground. I shielded the inside of the cavity but didn't know about the grounding stuff yet. Should i solder a ground wire to the base plate?

  • @CKS5000

    At least the shielding should be grounded. If the base plate touches the shielding (with metal springs for instance) it will be grounded already. Also the other way around: if the base plate is grounded and touches the shielding, the shielding will be grounded too.

    If there is a pick guard that is shielded on the inside and all metal parts touch the shielding you only have to ground one of the metal parts; the rest will be ground through the shielding.

  • This video now must be sent to guitar factories so they think about it a little more.

    So often hi ends guitars too have installed right handed pots wired reverse, instead of using proper pots and wiring.

  • Thanx aaronstonebeat!!!!
