Jazzmaster Grounding

[palinilap]

I have a Warmoth Jazzmaster body on the way and am planning out the build. I purchased a 920D wiring harness (will be dropping in Lollar gold foils) and want to clarify the grounding. Looking at the provided diagram, I understand the bridge ground, but I'm not sure about the "body ground". Can someone please explain how those would connect to the body?

Would I be okay with just the bridge ground, or is there added benefit to grounding at all three points simultaneously?

Thanks!

Body ground probably refers to a connection with full cavity shielding in the body ( highly recommend!)

I'd write an email to 920d people just to make sure, that said, if the pickups are sold as noiseless or humbuckers I don't bother with the shielding, though probably should. What I do is run a ground wire from the volume pot to the bridge and to the ring on the output jack. If it's a noisy single coil and its shielded then a ground to the shielding. But i always use the freeway switches, and can only follow what the diagram says, that's why I say check.

Ah ok... Yep I've got some copper foil tape ordered as well.

I have a lollar gold foil in another guitar and the noise is not bad, but probably wouldn't hurt to hit the shielding anyway.

Thanks for the replies!
