bugman96 Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Just wired up my guitar; 2 pickups: single coil and humbucker. I have two issues. The first is the bridge ground which I know how to take care of. The second is that the electrical buzzing gets louder when I touch the humbucker's mounting ring and screws. Not sure why this is happening. For what its worth I get good sound through an amp. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys toss out here.

unclej Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 anyone? any time you get a buzzing when you touch a string or a pickup or the mounting screws you've got a grounding problem. you say that there's a problem with the bridge ground..fix that first and see if it fixes the other problem. if not check all your ground wires and their solder points. if you have to unsolder and then re-solder them. could be a cold solder joint. good luck/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAArthur Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 For grins and giggles you might check the output jack wiring - you may have the ground and hot lead wired to the wrong jack terminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
