vivisectionnnn Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey I've got a Model S 210 vs and I've got a problem with my pickups. I took off the pick gaurd and found a black wire that looks like it's been disconnected from something. but don't know what. the other end of the black wire is soldered to a screw above the springs in the back of the guitar: looks like it might be a ground wire. anyone know where this should be connected to? I'd really like to get all the static off the pickups. unless I'm playing on the middle pickup, it sounds like ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle pickup is reverse wound, so it cancels out some of the hum when used in conjunction with the other pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pissedoffepiphoneowner Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 yeah, thats a ground wire... straight from the pickup though?? it should be goin to a pot, then from a pot to some arbitrary metal part... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pissedoffepiphoneowner Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 can be... but like any grounding surface, its good to dissipate it through several things.... like when you gotta reach for that wire so you get three buddies to grab your legs...
