Silhouette NGD!!! and Wiring Question...

[Four Eyes]

Good morning all!

Yesterday was a happy day! I found a Silhouette in Sapphire Black just hanging on the used wall at one of the Guitar Centers in my area. With the exception of a couple of small dings on the neck, it's in perfect shape. I was even happier when I looked at the tag and it stated that it came with the OHSC and in the case was the whammy bar, two more springs, a polish cloth, the rest of the DiMarzio clippy strap and an EB sticker! I couldn't be happier. I plan on posting another pic or two after I have some coffee, but I do have a quick question.

While wiping down and setting up this guitar, I noticed that there is no ground wire going to the trem spring claw. What gives?!?! Is there something going on under the pickguard that is acting as a ground? Is there a ground wire going to one of the bridge studs like in a Gibson?

Anyway, I'm not complaining because it's the quietest guitar I've ever played. But my inquisitive nature makes me wonder.

Thanks for any help y'all can give!!!

Great snag! The sapphire black finish is AMAZING, I've got a Morse in that color and I love it! Enjoy!

Silos kick major butt. Mine is a hardtail, so it might be different, but there is a wire going to the bridge, it's tied to the molex connector that belongs to the guitar, not the pickguard itself. I peeked under the hood once and took some pictures, hope it helps you:

Thanks to everyone for the kind and encouraging words. Rocket Ralf thanks for the pic it actually tells me a lot.

This is my fourth Music Man guitar, but the first one I really fell in love with. I only wish I didn't have to work today so I could play guitar all day.
