Les Paul Jr. wiring quesiton
Hey all I'm pretty new to the world of guitar tech but I was wondering about the grounding requirement for a P-90 Les Paul Jr. type wiring. The guitar has a wraparound bridge- how would I go about wiring a ground to it and from which pot (volume or tone?)
Thanks for all your help- this forum is a very valuable resource to say the least. |

Re: Les Paul Jr. wiring quesiton
It has to be grounded from the treble side wrapover stud bushing. It comes inot the control cavity through the same hole as the silver braided wire from the P90 and the ground gets soldered to the back of the volume pot (see first pic).
The trick is that the hole from the ground wire is drilled from the p\up cavity through into the stud bushing hole. The wire is the then looped back into the p/up cavity and then pushed through the hole for the p/up wire like in the other picture. You can just see it (the ground wire) by the two holes in the corner of the p/up cavity. Hope that helps! |
