Ok so i went to wire my guitar and was following a seymour duncan diagram and i have a quick question. In the below picture were i circled it, does it want me to make a connection between the thing on the right ( Sorry don't know what it's called) and the solder area on the pot?

Re: Wiring Again

I also have another question. My guitar has 4 ground or hot wires not sure witch is witch. there are three black ones and 1 white. I am a little confused since there are only 2 on the diagram. The first black one and the white one go to the jack. the second black one connects to a metal piece in the cavity. And the third one connects to a metal piece or the tremelo in the back of my guitar were i would put my strings through. Were would i have to put each of these wires. Or would i only need the two that connect to the jack? And i don't know if it will help but my guitar is a mexi fender.

Re: Wiring Again

I have yet again another question. This one is about the wires for the seymour duncan pickup. The pickup has a black, green, red, white, and silver wire. In the diagram witch wire is the white and witch is the silver its kind of hard to tell.
 
Re: Wiring Again

The white wire is next to the red wire on the switch. The silver wire is next to the green wire going to ground. The black wires coming out of random parts of you guitar are grounding wires for the strings and anything else outside the circuit which can pick up radio waves and channel them into your pickups. Just connect them to a convenient grounding point, for example, the back of a pot.

That means that the right lug of this pot must be grounded. You can do it by tilting the lug against the pot's case and then aplying solder (hard way) or just soldering a jumper (short wire) from the lug to the case.
I recommend you the use of a jumper.

I like to strip enough of the pickup's ground wire to use that as the jumper as well.

Does it matter witch pot. And is the white or black the Hot wire
 
Re: Wiring Again

The pickup's black wire is the Hot. The pickup's White wire goes wherever the Red wire goes.

You should have a White wire and a Black wire on your output jack. Black is the ground, White is the hot.
