Hi experts.

I'm rewiring my olp to have 2 tone pots. I'm using the original 500k w/ .02uf cap for the humbucker from hell and a new 250k w/ .02uf on my tone zone, to make it warmer. All using >this< diagram (plus a dpdt volume (500k) to split both pups).

I want the grounding done properly, avoiding ground loops. I've read a little on star grounding, and think it makes alot of sense. From what i understand, you bring all grounds to a central point (ie. a washer) and then run only one wire to the output jack. I also understand you unbend the bent lug on the volume jack and run a wire to the central spot.

Another part to the question...The wires that connect the pots together have 2 wires, the connection wire and the ground wire. Do all the ground wires run to the central location as well?

Help with this is greatly appreciated.
