Hi everyone, any electrical geniuses out there? I have a hum in my LP that I can't work out, thought I might of cooked a pot while I was soldering at first so I ended up ordering an epiphone harness for it. I chucked that in and the hum reduced a bit but was still there, I noticed it stops completely when I touch the housing at the end of the cable but touching anywhere else has no effect on it. I know it isn't the cables themselves because my other guitar doesn't hum at all. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Mulldoe.
Okay so the issue was that the strings weren't grounding, the problem was the paint on the black tune o matic hardware was breaking the continuity. The solution was pretty simple in the end, I just had to scrape some paint off of the saddle post and inside the saddle "hooks". Such a simple fix for what took me forever to figure out, cheers for the advice dingo and fender.
