Re: Fender strat noise problem

Does it stop if you touch the strings? Just go over the wiring closely
looking for bad connections with a chopstick or something you can push
a little with.

Hi,
I got a Fender Strat in to repair.
As I do not often repair guitars I have a problem with this one.
It is still stock, no changes or replacement have been made.
I can not tell the model but it's a recent model.

The owner said it played well and suddenly there is a "noise".
No real hum but a faint version of it.
It is very disturbing when either pick-up is used on its own (switch
position 1, 3 and 5).
Its gone when two pick-ups are used (switch position 2, 4).

I checked with a pick-up connected straight to the amp: same noise.
Ooh yes, I compared it with 4 different guitars, Fender included, in
the
shop.
There IS a diffence, very clear...

Any idea?

Thanks,
