Step 7Finding that mystery ground
ok now it looks done but its not because the vol knob needs to be grounded now
the vol knob must be atttached to the guitar chassis and there are two ways to do this
one way is to scratch the top of the knob so you can have a soldering surface to attach a wire so it can then be grounded to the guitar chassis and then after you get a wire soldered to the top of the knob your gonna want to bend pin three so it touches the metal of the knob and your gonna then solder pin three to the metal and dont forget to scratch that part to or else it wont stick
the second way of doing this is a bit easier (but i picked the other way for looking good) i think and that is to solder a wire straight to pin three and then attach it to chassis ground
chassis ground should be found some where in the guitar with a few black wires that are screwed in to the wall of the guitar if you cant find it then just strip the wire that comes from pin three of the other vol knob (not the one you added) or just solder it to pin three it all works
ok after you done that then search your entire guitar for random wires if you see one its probley a ground wire for a pickup i did the same thing and missed one just go a head and strip back a ground wire and solder and tape it up
