Benedetto B6 archtop pick and 2 SDP-500500K pot S. Duncan logo

[John Sotirakos]

Just needed to see if there is a wiring Diagram for the B6Benedetto Arch built-in 6str. pickup with a different Ground wire setup,
I also bought the 2 SDP-500500K pot S. Duncan logo,, I found one diagram I think might be right however it said to mount the ground wire to the Bridge, I have a floating bridge on top of an archtop, so I am getting confused, it there a wiring Diagram from Seymor Duncan

Welcome to the forum!

What is different about the ground wire setup? And what diagram do you have already? The B6's outside shield is the ground and the inside wire is the hot.

its from the pot to the bridge they want a ground, I don't have a bridge to mount it too, it's floating

I can't seem to find the right diagram to do this pick up setup, is what I am really asking for. with out the ground going to the bridge

 

[John Sotirakos]

does anyone have a diagram for the this setup?

Almost all diagrams you will find will have a bridge ground. Is this an all wood bridge or a metal one? Currently (before you install the pickup) is there a wire disappearing into the end block at all?

 

[John Sotirakos]

this is going to be a new build, it's all wood Bridge it's floating

There have been all kinds of ways that builders have grounded the strings, usually involving a small piece of wire going from string to string under the tailpiece that is invisible on the outside (usually passing through the endblock). A very quick google search showed a few ways to do it, including this thread on the jazz guitar forum.
