Questions about wiring grounds

[Birdman642]

I’m putting together a wiring harness in a new guitar. I’m setting it up for 2 humbuckers, a three way blade switch and one volume.
My question is, is it possible to connect all my grounds to a single point, and then wire that directly to the back of the pot? I don’t want to overload the pot with so many different ground connections that I possibly burn it out. I was planning on connecting most of my grounds (pickups,bridge,output, etc) to a lug, or washer screwed into the wall of the control cavity, then connecting a single wire to that and connecting that wire straight to the back of the pot.
Is this possible? Also, if this is posted in the wrong board, please let me know.

That's probably the more common method. As long as all ground connections eventually have continuity to the output jack, you should be good.

So essentially if they’re all connected to a singular ground point like that, it would maintain continuity and complete the circuit?

Can you overload something with a ground?

That's fine method -you won't overload... if you want to go a step further -bring all grounds beck to the jack instead a two step through the pot.

As long as they are connected, you are good. It doesn't really matter the path there.

Yes, this. Electricity doesn't care where you solder . . . it just needs a clear path to where it's going.

You can overload something with too much heat... I think I've done this before.

I had another idea. This was inspired by the tremol-no. For the bridge ground on that, it’s not soldered in, rather it’s screwed in directly to the claw. Would I be able to take my washer, or nut, take a wood screw, have the grounds contact the screw in some way, screw those in and not have to solder anything on there?

I'd solder them together. You don't want the slightest chance of an intermittent ground introducing noise into your guitar.
