'72 deluxe AWFUL HUM

[greenalex]

Hi everyone, enjoy the guitar very much, but the noise takes me beyond my hate.
My amp is beautiful, before '72 deluxe I used american standard and everything was clear.

Here's the video of actual guitar. As you can see the noise doesn't go away when I touch the bridge or something.

As far as I awarned this could be because of ungrounded bridge, but I checked that. It's actually grounded. Something else ungrounded? Everything must be rewired? anything...

Could be a bad ground on a pot. Funny that there isn't a change in the noise when you touch the strings, as you say there is a ground on the bridge plate.

Can you check for continuity ? From the jack cup, you should have good continuity to everything metal there, pup covers, bridge.




Have you done any electrical work lately ? Does it make the noise in all switch positions? If not it could be a pup hot wire touching someplace it shouldn't.

Did it just start doing it ?

SOLVED.

my technician told me it was some of the wires connected weakly

That will do it.

You should hear how bad they hum when you connect them monthly.
