Stratocaster DIY: Soldering Lead and Ground Wires 

Because there's all this old school "vintage is best" obsession in the guitar world. The industry is EXTREMELY resistant to change. I mean pickup manufacturers are making and selling pickups identical to what they made 60 years ago and charging a premium for it, Fender with their BS "relics" that cost a life savings, it ultimately boils down to consumers being sheep and not only are they not demanding change, but they buy into and even feed the illusion that the way things were done 50 years ago was best, which is MIGHTY convenient for pickup/guitar manufacturers because they don't have to R&D new designs, manufacturing processes/equipment, connectors, they don't have to innovate like most industries, just keep making reissues of ancient tech and convincing us that it's the best there is. There's companies selling capacitors and resistors made in the Soviet Union or made as a knockoff of such components and charging $40+... IT'S JUST A CAPACITOR, if it measures at the same capacitance then it doesn't matter what it's made of or where or when! Sorry but the guitar industry is damn silly

It would be nice if you don't mind answering my question

@@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj I don't believe that there would be a difference as long as all of the connections are solid and flowing in the same direction. I think that's a great idea to replace all that messy solder and wire jumble on the back of the volume pot with a solderless ground cable connector. I think I'll steal this idea and use it

@@outbakjak it's yours buddy, anything to help a fellow guitarist. I really hate the idea of soldering all the ground wires on the back of one pot, it's messy and you risk burning the poor thing or even degrading it with heat. I always wondered why there isn't a small plate or washer screwed to the body where all ground cables are soldered to, it makes no difference connection wise as long as it's a closed loop that dumbs the signal to the ground via the jack 🤔 right

Maybe cause most people who would watch this video don’t have one.

I agree. It’s pretty sloppy.

If it works it is fine.
