    No buzz, as any signal is shorted straight to ground. Not the same as you touching the tip of a cable connected to an amp as you aren't at ground potential (unless touching something connected to ground) and any noise signals picked up by your body then get amplified by the amp, hence the buzzing.

    Dig the jack socket out if the body and see if any buzz or signal as i reckon that might be the culprit for an earth short, or at least best place to start the trouble shooting.
    Like how it looks. Very classic.

    My sentiments exactly.... If you feel you have wired it right then these are the first two places to look as they are the two most common 'drama spots'...

    Will do that tonight if i get a chance. I was quote surprised by the state of the pot wiring. It honest looked as if the pots had been recycled from something else.
