Humming Guitar

Hey Dan,
If you have a multimeter just check the resistance between the post and the outside of the output socket. If you don't have a multimeter try getting a short bit of wire, strip both ends and then connect it externally between the post and the shell of the guitar lead jack. If the problem goes away you know you have a wiring issue inside.

Thanks for the tip Lawry. I have a multimeter, so I will try this out.

good tip from Lawry

the multi meter should read low/no resistance, as both should be earthed

Good call Stan. Not much point telling someone to check between two points if you don't tell them what to expect.
