Apologies for the total noob question here, but my searching is failing me.
I’ve watched a bunch of videos and read articles about basic guitar wiring. I’m going to wire a two humbucker, one tone, one volume setup.
On the Bare Knuckle website there is this wiring diagram: https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/upload/support/2_hum_1vol_1tone_3way_40da0c6.pdf
It has the capacitor wired between the first lug of the volume pot (which also connects to the output of the 3 way switch) to the middle lug of the tone pot. The third lug of the tone pot is grounded.
A lot of the diagrams I see are like this one: https://humbuckersoup.com/tone-control-wiring/
This has the capacitor wired to the third lug of the tone pot, between it and ground.
Is there a reason to do one over the other?

for me the 60s style and modern scheme are identical but they seem when rigorously they are not

FMPOV the 4 diagrams attached hereafter are identical.
I use the number 1 or 2 indifferently.
And I never noticed any notable differences

I would stick to the BKP version personally, try it and see, if you have any problems with it let me know.
