Should there be a ground? (Wiring help)

[heem6]

I'm wiring up a Super D for coil splitting. I got done and realized the diagram doesn't show any ground wires going to the bridge or the trem claw. Should there be a ground wire (or two)?

The green is the ground for the pickup. The ground for the bridge is assumed.

Yeah, some diagrams 'assume' that you'd know that, which isn't apparent unless you've done it before. No matter if I know it or not, with diagrams, I figure there can never be too much information.

Absolutely! I need wiring for dummies and much prefer the older style diagrams DiMarzio used.

Thanks. Would that bridge ground go to the third lug or the side of the volume pot?

Bridge/trem claw ground helps. A lot.

But isn't technically mandatory.
