Gibson pickup cracking
hey guys!
I've got a little problem, when i plug in my guitar with a Gibson PAF Pickup it starts cracking after playing a while (sometimes it cracks and sometimes it doesnt, Both clean and distorted) so i unscrewed the pickup and i saw a wire that isnt connected to anything, my question : Where do i need to connect the white wire to? (sorry for my bad english)  |

Now I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is the ground for the pickup. What you need to do is solder it to the volume pot (again I could be wrong)

Seymour Duncan has wiring diagrams for nearly every configuration imaginable. Assuming you have two humbuckers, two volume knobs and two tone knobs, then here it is:
http://cdn.seymourduncan.com/pdfs/s...2h_2v_2t_3w.pdf If you have some other configuration, use the drop-down menu and find your diagram: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/ Good luck!

If you're not comfortable soldering this. You really should take it to your local guitar tech. You can mess stuff up pretty good if you're not used to using a soldering iron. Since its a Gibson, and you most likely paid over 1k for it, I'd recommend the tech.
