The key to this is the moving of the tone pot connection from the pickup to the switch. The typical quote of "just move the cap wire from the outside lug to the inside lug" is not accurate. The truth of this of this mod is moving the cap wire from the pickup wire to the switch wire. * This is an important distinction as some users have their pickup and switch wires reversed so as to attain independent volume controls (turning one pup to zero when in middle pos only kills that pup instead of killing both).

1) So it does not matter which lug is used for "ground" or "capacitor" on the tone control?
2) So which wiring allows you to turn one pup to zero when in middle pos and only kill that pup instead of killing both? Sorry, but the way that is written is a little confusing.
