I opened my Stratocaster's (copy) front plate and found a yellow wire running to the back, and at that end connected to the bridge (and therefore the strings). I can only guess it's for grounding? I accidentally broke it off the front plate, but I'm not sure if it's important. The guitar still works fine.
I also want to install an LED that would turn on when the guitar is plugged in. I have an LED, but it doesn't seem to work with AA/AAA 1.5v batteries. But it does work with a 5v electric adapter. My questions are:
- Would it work with a 9v battery?
- Is the current on the guitar pickups high enough to light up an LED? With a weaker LED, for example from a small mp3 player. It would be much better!
I'm open to any suggestions on my little project.
