peterd Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi all, I own a 1981 Gibson Firebrand "The Paul" Deluxe, which I have had for nearly ten years, and I'm very happy with it. However, I have recently noticed that when I turn either of the volume controls down I get a hum unless I touch the bridge/strings. If I have both pickups selected the hum only occurs when I turn BOTH pickups down. I have never done any modifications to the guitar. I have tried two guitars through the same amp/cable and they don't exhibit the same problem. Do you have any suggestions? You're my last hope - I've tried everywhere I can think of on the net, to no avail! Many thanks in advance, Peter Dutton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob7 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think that one of the volume pots, maybe both are improperly grounded.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
