|  Wiring problem ('floating' ground wire)
I have an old MIJ strat-like guitar (maybe a Kawai?). It's a 3-pickup model with one volume, one tone and three slide switches to turn each pickup on or off. Sure it needs some work in the electronics (faulty connections, etc.). I opened it and found a floating wire starting from the volume pot's back (ground) and going towards the slide switches area... but it is disconnected. Where did it go? Maybe to the metal case (=ground) of one of the slide switches? Do such switches need to be grounded? Currently neither the pickups nor the slide switches are grounded actually... I attach a picture of the guitar's guts. TIA
