Les Paul wireing Q, current pup doesnt' have a ground, new one does. What do I do?

[Naps]

Ok, The current pups on my Les Paul don't seem to have a ground wire, but I'm thinking about putting in the CC I have (then possibly magnet swapping again). The problem is that the CC has a ground and the pup that's in there does not. So, I don't know what to solder the ground to. Anyone know?

Thanks.

Every pickup has a ground. The stock pickup probably is two conductor with the outside braid being the ground (like most classic Gibby pickups). Solder the green and bare of the CC to the back of the Volume pot that it's hot lead (black) is soldered to.
