As I'm installng one of these myself, and I'm trying to avoid doing as much work as possible, I have a few questions:
Does the ground wire have to go to the ground part of the jack, or can I hook both the ground and signal up to one blade, and leave the other one empty, as when switched to, nothing will be selected, so there'll be silence.
Or can I hook a ground wire from the back of the volume pot to the other blade and then take a wire from the blade back to the volume pot, as that would be a grounded wire, and no signal would be found when selected?
Yes, I'm a noob to this, so if they're stupid ideas, I apologise. Just trying to save work, which would mean less to go wrong...
