Mike,
I am by no means an expert but I had similar behavior after putting the original WR humbuckers back into my 72 tele thinline guitar. On the Fender wiring diagrams they show a ground wire running from pot to pot, soldered to the back side of the pots and then it goes up under the bridge. This is the same wire that connects to the ring of the output jack. My guitar did not have this wire. While I had it apart I put this ground wire back in and all the humming/noise went away.

I have no idea really if what I did solved the problem I just know it no longer hums when I touch the pickups.

maybe just something to check.

someone else on the forum who knows what they are talking about will possibly have other ideas.

Steve
