why not both conections to ground?

[bpmorton777]

Im re-wireing my Hamer with this diagram and found something that is making me question the diagram. I have marked the part im talking about in red. Couldent this be done by having both lugs go to ground? Not sure why they are connected to each other in the diagram if both going to ground would do the same thing.

any help would be great. :help:

I THINK it's just the way the diagram looks.
For clarity's sake I would have preferred that they show each line go ground on it's own, which is what they mean i think.

I agree!  This diagram shows each mentioned line going to ground.
It is just the way the diagram is drawn.  If you look the entire diagram, it does this in other locations [i.e. the tone pot].
Good luck with the Hamer...

Don't look at it as though they are connected to each other, look at it as though each one is individually going to ground, which they are.  Often times schematics are drawn this way, it helps to clarify that your " Ground" is one point.

You can have ground points all over the place, and as long as they are all connected, It's one point.

Per the schematic they are both connected to GND; it's just typically the way a circuit like this gets drawn up. Were I asked to install this circuit for somebody, I'd solder a short lead between the two lugs, and take another lead off which ever one that's closest to my major ground point.
