Hi All,
I'm still a bit confused about grounding. Thought I had it under control, but then I took apart my current Fender and got confused.
I thought I was supposed to ground to the bridge and the to jack (avoiding ground loops). However, if there was a short in the venue or amp - this could be dangerous as you could become the best ground - so one might not want to ground the bridge.
Then I took apart my current fender. It is just grounded to the bridge - only one wire goes to the jack - no grounds go to the amp!
What's the deal? My Fender is quiet - is it grounded incorrectly?
Thanks!
