If you are experiencing unusual handling noises, sometimes the pickup will function best without the shield connected to ground, but Black or red lead must ALWAYS connect to ground. Ground lead is soldered to shield at factory- peel back some insulation to reveal it Solder all grounds at the same location- Back of Volume pot is best. For Pro Tubes- MIDDLE PICKUP- RED=+, White=Ground Solder all grounds at the same location- Back of Volume pot is best. In single coil mode Neck Humbucker uses ONLY Neck-side Coil, Bridge Humbucker uses only Bridge-side coil. To reverse these short red-white pair to + instead of ground. When wiring to existing pickups- If in-between position is too thin you are out-of-phase. Just reverse the + and ground leads on the GFS pickup without disturbing the silver shield. On Tele Bridge pickups the baseplate ground lead must also be reversed. GFS Humbuckers may also be wired using Seymour Duncan wiring codes.
