Big Buuzzz

[Jemini]

Hello everyone,

well first i introduce myself, i'm french, i'm student and i'm 18. I started my first guitar 5 months ago, now it's done, and 2 other guitars have been started.

Next year (school year, i'm hoping to make 4 or 5 guitars)

Well, for my first guitar i only bought one pickup (SH6 Seymour Duncan Distortion, for bridge ) so i have 1 tone and 1 volume.

My problem is that i have a really big buzz when i turn on the volume pot ! When it's about 1 or 2, there is nothing, just a clear good sound, but more i turn more the buz can be heard.

I can stop the buz just by touching the Tone pot with a finger, so i thought that it's only a "grounding" problem, but i don't know.

I didn't ground the bridge yet, (because i forgot, and now, i would have to take out everything, which would take a lot of time.

All pots are ground together, so i dont know why it's doing that,

I'm gonna had a picture soon,

So do you have ideas, to help me ?

Thanks,

sorry if my english sucks some times ^^

Try grounding the bridge, that sounds like the problem to me.

Here are the pics,

Clic on the tiny pics to see them bigger (to big for the forum, that's why) :

Tell me if you see something wrong, (i know the grounding to the pot volume is weird, but i'll do it better)

EDIT :::

yep i'll try to ground the bridge for tests, (it's a Les Paul type bridge it's harder than a Strat bridge to ground), and iff it's that, i'll have to take off everything ... sucks
