Do EMG humbuckers need grounding to the claw?

[vikingred]

Got the 57/66 set.  Doing just a volume and an EMG 3-way switch.  Simplicity.  Question is, do I need to ground the volume pot and/or switch and/or jack to the tremolo claw (Floyd Rose).  I don't think it's necessary, but I wanted to ask opinions.  Thanks.

No, they're low-impedance parts. Plus, the directions specifically say not to do it.

Actually, the low impedance comes from the buffering, rather than the winding of the coils, but like Cagey said, you don't have to ground your bridge when using EMGs.

Read the instructions. They are helpful.

Right.  When all else fails, read the instructions.  Heh.  Thanks.
