Where is the proper place to run the ground wire for a standard Gibson/Epiphone tune-o-matic guitar? Bridge or tailpiece?
Typically, it has been my experience that the ground is run from the bridge, but I recently built my first guitar (from a cheap Les Paul style kit to get a better idea of the inner workings of the setup) and the only opening was to the tailpiece. I ran the ground to it, and the guitar works fine... short of a massive amount of feedback whenever i am not in contact with the strings or other metal pieces. (seems like that could be the issue... but all wiring and pickups will get changed out soon enough).
Basically, I am moving into my big build, building a new SG style guitar with tune-o-matic bridge, but I do not know where to run the ground to... bridge or tailpiece. I have a few days before my Duncan pickups arrive, so I wont be running any electronics wires just yet, but i would love to get this figured out as soon as possible.
(shoot, if anyone has the wiring diagrams for a standard 3 way to one vol/one tone, send it my way. I have one or two, but the more information the better!)
Thanks ahead of time!

Do your wires have to make contact with the pot or does it just have to be connected well with a good solder joint? Must there be a physical connection to the pot or does the solder do that for you?
I'm a soldering idiot. finally got some practice, but limited knowledge past that. please help!!!!
