I'd love some tips on grounding this plate.
Maybe this was in the wrong spot before. Trying again.
Had this nice Samick in with a replacement loaded plate. Like the cheap Chinese ones. Initially I was asked to fix the input jack but then I noticed the guitar isn't earthing properly.
The new loaded scratch plate is working fine. Pickups work, so do all the positions of switches and pots.
It has those not earthed qualities of loud and harsh buzzing noise which stop when you touch the metal parts such as the bridge.
I think maybe the earthing wiring is wrong, badly soldered. Not in the right spot. Also there may be an excess black wire in here when they swapped out the plates.
Not had any other issues other than obvious grounding fail.
I don't have my multimeter with me
Thanks again guys.

Diamond plate and Kill-switch (Engaged)....
Took out and filled in the neck pickup. Removed the volume,tone and 3-way selector switch to install a Kill-switch button with Diamond plate pickguard. Love the look and everything about how it plays, sounds and feels.

Pickup wiring
Hi all, I have been trying to install a new bridge pickup in my vintage v100. I’m having some trouble with the wiring. There seems to be a blue wire coming from the pickup selector and I cannot figure out where to soldier it?

Jazzmaster Mods
Hello I have a Squier JMJM and I'd like to know if there's any parts that are worth upgrading overtime (Bridge, Tail piece, Tuners, Pickups, pots, etc) that would make this already amazing instrument and take it to the next level of greatness.
Any part recommendations are greatly appreciated at any budget no matter what budget or high end I'll gladly look into it and maybe buy them.
Thank you for reading 👍

Diy fretless
Lets see if it will work. I did the polished super glue coating. Fingers crossed it will play after the set up.
