Hi!
Not counting 50's wiring, there are four ways to connect a capacitor.
50/5000
Will each of these ways work the same? Which way do you think is the best?
Dirk Wacker said that method no two is the best because pot's wiper (middle lug) is connect to ground.
"Electrically, the ’60s wiring is completely identical to the modern wiring with the same tone, behavior, and problems. But there is one significant difference: In terms of shielding, the ’60s wiring is superior to the modern wiring scheme. When electromagnetic interferences enter a guitar, they will also stray into the tone pot’s unused pin and therefore into the middle lug (the wiper) in both wirings. With the wiper connected to ground, as in the ’60s wiring, the interferences will stop at this point. But with the tone cap connected to the middle lug, like in the modern wiring, electromagnetic interferences will find their way through the cap and carry on."
