Hi all,
I have myself an epiphone sheraton ii pro that im in the process of upgrading. Ive got some lindy fralin p92s in it, and im about to install some bourns 95 pots and tropical fish tone caps.
My question is, is there any reason to ground the bushing/shaft of the pot with the supplied grounding washer? The guitar is unsheilded and im not sure if theres any real purpose to grounding this, so any answers would be wonderful. Thanks!

If you're using all metal knobs, you might notice some hum when you touch the knobs if the pots are not grounded. But if you're using plastic or wood knobs, no problem. My opinion....

Yes. I have bourns 95s in my ibanez that has metal knobs and there's some noise if I touch the knob without having my other hand on the strings. But I think I grounded the tab.
