As usual, what makes a beautifully simple and logical system to use is an absolute rat's nest inside .

The output jack cable needs to be shielded, unless it's an SG-type guitar with the jack in the same cavity as the controls - and especially if it's a Les Paul-type arrangement with the switch a long way away, all the wiring to the switch must be shielded. For the rest, I would probably shield the whole cavity (I prefer copper foil) as it's easier than doing everything with shielded cable, and takes care of the single wires as well.

I never rely on the supposedly conductive adhesive though - it seems to lose its conductivity over time. I always spot-solder across every joint - just one spot between any two pieces is fine.

Don’t use too low a value for the pots, it will just give a muddy tone when you don’t want it. The point of having a rotary tone control is to be able to dial in the sound you want .

EDIT: Not sure where that link went to. If it disappears again, it's on the Irongear site under wiring diagrams for 2 humbuckers, 2 volume and 1 tone...
