Al(ex) Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Where does the other end connect to? Is it going towards the tailpiece? One of the black grounds should connect to the bridge post. As least on some of them it does. Do you see any stray wires when referencing the jagstang schematic at this url? https://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=97914 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapister Posted February 19 Author Report Share Posted February 19 thanks for your reply... the extra black wire comes together with the other 2 black wires, all leading from the hole to the body/pickups area i have looked up the schematic you shared , images and youtube, but all the jagstangs have only 2 black wires i don't think my guitar has been modded in any way so far as well so i'm really confused by this mystery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagjo Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 It's the groundwire connected to the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 I just bought a second hand jag and mine has the same unattached black wire. One end is under the pic guard, so can I assume it’s attached to the bridge and it now needs to be re soldered to the bottom of the volume pot. ( that’s what it looks like it the diagram)?

rapister Posted July 21 Author Report Share Posted July 21 hi , so I have massive background buzz yes, i did solder it to the back of the volume pot, and the buzz was eliminated so i guess its meant to be there, just that it got loose from age, i guess (i dismantled it more, and yes it goes to the bridge/grounding) did you have buzz too?
