I'm in the process of changing out my pickups on my American Standard. When I flipped the pickgaurd over they had a black wire from the jack going to the first tone pot. Looking at the wiring diagrams for the American standard has "all" black wires going to the volume pot. Is this a mistake, or does it really matter which pot it goes back on?

Thanks

Makes absolutely no difference. Ground is ground.

As long as the guitar sounded okay before you tore into it. It probably would be the ground. Like BLuesky said "ground is ground" and shouldn't be any problem. As far as I can recall of any factory wiring I've looked at they ground to the volume pot. I guess that day someone didn't.

Probably was built on a Monday by someone with a bad hangover. :lol:
