I'm asking because last night I finished a shielding job on one of my strats and forgot to re-solder the ground wire back to the trem claw. I realized this right as I was screwing in the last pickguard screw, but decided to go ahead and test it anyways. To my surprise, the guitar had no hum. So it got me wondering.
I used several coats of Stew Mac carbon based shielding paint, foil on the back of the pickguard, etc. It has zero hum now, but even on the guitarnuts website, he still shows a ground wire being run to the trem claw in the wiring diagram :icon_scratch:
Can I just leave the guitar as is or should I run a wire to the trem claw for good measure?
