Re: In desperate need of help
In Diagram 1, the bridge pickup is the one lower on the page. The ground wire is the cable shield and it is shown being soldered to the case of the volume pot.
Or are you asking about the ground wire from the bridge? The instructions indicate that you do not reconnect it...
Good luck!
P.S. You will be replacing the pots, too... correct? The EMG pickups use a much lower value pot than typical passive pickups.

Yeah i was wondering which wire to not reconnect. I read i should not reconnect the groud wire from the bridge but i don't know which wire it is.
Yeah, i repalced my pots and have everything install its just that there's an excessive amount of hum and can't figure out whats causing it.
thanks

If you have a multi-meter you could ohm out the ground wires to figure out which one goes where. But I think you might be better hooking all of the ground wires up, just to make sure that you have all of the necessary ones connected.
I put in a set of EMG's in a S-S-H strat about 17 years ago and I don't remember disconnecting the ground wire to the bridge... But I do recall it was tricky getting the 9 volts to work properly with the output jack (you might want to trace the contacts to make sure you have it connected properly).
