SCN pickups woes....

[fenderguy72]

So i got a set of SCN's in my 08 standard...i like the noisless idea, but really, they are not...still getting a buzz, but the most annoying thing, is how microphonic these are...just tap the volume plate, and the whole guitar rings..

My question, is there anything that i can do, like put foam or some silencing material in the cavities to take away the microphonic effect...i hear the sound while using the pickups switch, turning the volume all the way up, and just anything that has to do with the volume plate...thanks

well, i don't know what to tell you. lotta help here. i don't have that ringing problem with the control plate but i do agree that they are not 100% noiseless. i know nada about wiring but i dunno? amp maybe-bad tube?

Yeah, i dont know much bout wiring, but i'm close to grabbing a soldering kit, and put the old stock pickups in for a change in the muddy neck pickup...and sure its not the amp, cause it sounds the same with heaphones outta a small effects unit...i saw a video awhile back of a fella saying that he put something in the cavities for the microphonice problem
