RickBlacker Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I recently replaced a humbucker and selector switch from the Asian to the American style. Everything seems to be wired up correctly, selector switches and the pups work as expected. Everything looks to be grounded properly. However, I still get significant buzz, however, if I touch my selector switch, the buzz stops. The selector switch does have a ground going from the ground nub, to the ground solder joint on the back of the volume pot. I'm just wondering if I should also solder a wife from the body of the selector switch to the same ground point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim37 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 if any thing I would run. The ground from the case to the ground nub. U don't want to create a ground loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickBlacker Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks! A little update. I just noticed that my switch was in backwards according to the seymour ducan wiring diagram that I had been using. I disconnected everything off the switch, turned it around, rewired. Not that odd buzz is not there, it acts like my other guitars, a very slight increase in buzz volume when I touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
