Here’s part of the magic that I’ve absorbed. Having only 2 wires makes buttery distortion.

INFORMATION ABOUT A 2-WIRE HUMBUCKER

To keep it simple the less wires in the signal chain the better. So in a single humbucker guitar if you run the shielding as ground and the hot wire combination ( a stock braided humbucker wiring ) strait to the volume pot ii is the cleanest line of signal. The only way to get close to no-loss from the humbucker would be to run directly to the input jack.

Does this make sense? This also reduces any noise from other things like tone pots and extra capacitors and junk like that.
