Nothing wrong with making a solder connection to the back of a pot. The success of the solder joint is entirely down to the tools used, the preparation of the surface to be soldered and good old fashioned practice. Don't forget that it is possible to overheat and damage any component designed to be soldered if poor tools are used or the person holding the soldering iron lacks experience.

It most likely dates from the days of point-to-point wiring in tube radios and TVs when there was no other way to ground the case of the pot. No doubt the practice was carried over to the guitar world by people who had experience assembling such circuits in factories.

Back to the original topic:

Where did the pickup come from? If it came from a working guitar I'd be tempted to use the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram, as it sounds like the wiring colours and the way the pickup was supplied to you with red/white and green/braid coiled together matches the SD scheme.

I bought it from China as I am currently studying there. But it was made and imported from Korea as the shopkeeper told me. You can see the wires in the image below-

I also bought a pair of Wilkinson Zebra pickups but mine came with red and white wire coiled together, green and bare wire coiled together and a black wire. So my question is should I wire them as the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram? Please do let me know. Thank you guys.
