gosh Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I've built and completed my Les Paul Replica. After having wired it up several times (i'm not good at wiring) until I finally got sound out of it, there is now a terrible hum from it. I have checked and re-checked the diagrams and can't for the life of me figure out what the problem could be. The sound is like a fairly loud and constant buzz/hum that stops completely if I touch either of the two pickups. almost as if I'm earthing it with by body. But I don't know how to cure it. It still plays and sounds great and all the controls seem to be working fine. but this humming is driving me nuts. Any suggestions please?
