I've got this Aria Pro which was a gift from a friend that I'd been messing with for a few years and didn't even know it had a coil tap. I recently decided to put a new humbucker in the bridge and put some decent hardware on it. I'm still waiting for the bridge to show up for a central ground or whatever, but I slid on the old bridge that is missing a claw to solder to just to see if I could hear it through an amp. It made all sorts of buzzing and other noises, but it actually worked (my first wiring/soldering venture). My question is that could the central ground be responsible for all the noises when turning knobs, or would that be just old crappy potentiometers? Or bad wiring/soldering? The guitar was doing this before I wired it, and it wasn't grounded then either. I'm just looking for an opinion that might speed things up for me while I'm waiting for parts to arrive. Also I was wondering if the wiring for the push-pull tap in the 1 humbucker 1 vol. 1 tone w/coil split schematic was right-side up, and if I could use it on either a 500K volume or 250K tone pot. Any help is greatly appreciated.
