wiring a humbucker directly to jack,no tone or vol pots

[Steve Hudson]

so i recently purchased a homemade console lap steel, with a single single coil wiring directly tot he jack, no vol or tone pots which is fine because obviously i use a volume pedal anyway.

Now unfortunately theres a touch more hum from the single coil than id prefer, so i purchased a single soil spaced humbucker hot rails . my question is since the humbucker has three sets of wires, the silver ( ground?)soldered to a black wire, a single green wire, and a soldered together red and white wire .

If im adding this direct to jack, what am i looking at here wiring wise? and what to do with the leftover wires?

Solder the black to the sleeve, and the green to the tip. Make sure the other two are insulated.

I think i gotcha on this, the inside part is the sleeve( ground) and the outside part if the tip, ( red in the picture,) ill solder the green there then just throw a wire nut and tape off the other wires. right?
