Wiring - Ibanez Talisman electric guitar made in Japan - Output jack grounding

This project was a situation where I was helping a fellow guitar guy, Joe T. aka: Dr. Frets, he had refretted the neck (and done a masterful job as always), but there was a few issues with the wiring.
A few solders later and all was well!
  • troubleshoot & fix ground wiring issue
  • replace output jack
  • service potentiometers with deoxit
  • turn it around quick to not delay the project for the customer
