Control plate ok as a common ground?

[Tuxedo Poly]

I notice that some wiring diagrams show a soldered wire link between the vol and tone pot ground commons, others don't.

I guess that as the pots are fixed to the (metal) control plate this makes a good enough electrical link between them but is is better practice to connect with a soldered wire link or would it make no difference?

Works for me.

The tele control plate is a nice big lump of conductive metal, no wire needed.
