Ground noise

Re: Ground noise

What would the chassis ground be in the case? A screw in the body? No offense but grounding to a screw in wood is ridiculous

Re: Ground noise

The chassis ground is the guitar. Area of zero voltage where the noise from the electronix can dissipate. Did you read my last post. I said the electronics get grounded by the bridge and body, not the body and bridge need to be grounded by the main ground coming from the jack. And yas, getting a wire to the bridge AND a screw in the body helps a lot. I've tested it myself.

Alright let's say we remove the guitar from the equation.

Pickguard with pickups, pots and 5way mounted and wired to an output jack. Should I expect ground noise from the humbucker?

Re: Ground noise

Yes you could have some noise in that situation if all you do is run the ground from the jack to 1 pot.

Be sure you grounded it to the bridge dude
