Thanks for the info. It looks like the earth wire from the bridge to the ground point isn't continuous. I touch a wire from the bridge to the pickup switch and the noise abates. I am still nonplussed as to how this might've happened , bur more so with the prospect of withdrawing a bridge-post and replacing the wire....

Hi. I have a hum that is leaving me non-plussed. I have measured the resistance of all possible pairings - jack, tone, volume, switch, pickup 1, pickup 2 (covers) and always get a zero reading. I have used a common ground for all components ie each ground wire is individually soldered to the 'common ground'. The hum is probably 'liveable with' ie not intrusive compared to the volume of the guitar, but it is alleviated by touching any of the above mentioned components , so i'm a little perturbed. Touching the bridge or touching the strings has no effect at all. Also it seems to dissipate almost disappearing over time when I'm playing the guitar. If you have some ideas I can test in order to identify the source, please let me know. Thanks, Rob. Top
