Wiring help request on ASAT Classic Tribute

Post by moutchou »

Hello,

I had a hum on my Asat Classic Tribute that was disappearing when touching the strings and had also sound scratches when touching volume and tone knobs.

So I unmounted the screw of the knobs plate.... But when trying to check the wiring I noticed one was unplugged (perhaps I cut it when manipulating.

I tried to find the schema to repair: I guess it is this one:

It seems also that the cut black wire should be linked to the bridge ground.

The fact is that I don't know if my assumptions are right, and if yes, where is the bridge ground.

Any idea ?

Here is the link to my guitar pictures:

Thanks for your help !
