Wires came off of STK S1N. Help rewiring please!

[Pantshappened]

Hey all! I have an STK S1N and all of the wiring frayed off at the base of the pickup. I can solder it myself but I’m not sure where the ground wire goes. Can anyone help with that? If you’re looking at the pickup head on, I know it goes (left to right) Red, White, Black and then Green. But what about ground??

well, i just happen to have a stks1b handy. youre correct, red, white, black, green. the bare doesnt seem to be connected to anything. my guess is they just used their normal 4cond+shield humbucker wire but since there isnt a metal baseplate or cover, just left it floating on the pup side

Hmmm wouldn’t the pickup need to be grounded though?

 

[jeremy]

the pup is grounded through whatever coil wire gets grounded. the bare ground wire on a humbucker is for the cover and baseplate. on a paf where there is only a hot wire and shield, the coil ground and plate/cover ground are connected.

Oh ok, that’s awesome. Thanks so much for the help!
