      Yeah, a guitar output is a mono unbalanced two wire 1/4" TS jack.

      Of course there are people who make guitars with custom wiring, but the standard is TS. 2 wires: tip and sleeve.

      You can use a stereo/balanced TRS jack with 3 wires,? (Tip, Ring Sleeve) but only because those are sort of compatible with TS. It won’t actually be balanced.

          I said it would be better for guitars to use XLR, because XLR are balanced.
