Not on guitar from this time period...
That's why they have the metal shield...and I'm not talking about the thing the pots are connected to. You can't see it in the photo, but it's a cage that screws over the top of the cavity. This is a '79 Silverburst and that's how they came from the factory: ungrounded.
But, that's besides the point. I don't care about the string grounding issue. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to wire the guitar with new pots and such, regardless of whether or not the strings/bridge is grounded.
If I wanted to ground the strings/bridge, I'd have to drill a new hole in the guitar to route a wire.
