Grounding on non trem guitars?


hi..

I notice on all my ibanez', theres a wire connecting the ground lug of the volume pot to the trem claw, which is screwed into the wood... I originally presumed this was to ground the electronics to the wood of the guitar - this seemed believable, if a bit strange ... but it struck me earlier that it could be the other way round; grounding the trem and strings to the ground connection from the jack..

So basically what i'm asking is, is there any need (while building a non trem guitar) to screw a screw into the wood, and connect the ground lug to it?

Cheers

Rob
