I have an Epiphone Wilshire that is producing a "static" sounding noise when plugged into an amp. I removed the cover plate and found a loose, black wire (ground?). It looks like the wire is connected to the back of one of the tone knobs.

I suspect a grounding issue, but I'm not familiar enough with guitar wiring to know where this wire should connect.
