Re: Fender 1984 Japan Strat "buzzing"

I think the pickup hum is about normal. I've been using humbuckers for
years and probably am spoiled as far as hum.
The electrical buzz thing, without touching the bridge (hard)seems
more than normal to me though. I think I will try an additonal ground.
Can't hurt I guess.

If it does it with the guitar volume all the way down, then
you can re-wire the guitar volume to load the output instead
of the input... this would definitely stop the hum.

If it's happening because you're removing your fingers
with the guitar volume *up*, then you have the wrong
technique... if your hands leave the instrument, then it
should be turned off.
