Stratman68
Axe-Master
so, I put my new Fralin Blues Special pickguard in my new (for me) Fender USA 2016 Anniv-red Strat channel bound neck.. I did have this pickguard in another strat for a week or so a while back and this issue did not exist. The claw ground I ran to the 2nd (bottom pot casing) and the screw in body ground to the first pot.
The 1st (middle) tone pot is crazy hum and it definitely controls the amount of hum no mater which of the 5 positions I have the selector switch in.
So BEFORE I restring it do I need to ground the middle pot also? Th pickup\pots\etc were all wired by Fralin himself and like I said never had this issue.
IAH, I do not remember where the claw ground wire was-before - I mean to which pot). Hope this makes sense because I am pretty bummed-great guitar but this......................
I don't want to just experiment-so any ideas about middle tone pot issue?
Thanks
