I recently built a tele with Lollar pick ups and greasebucket wiring. I am getting major hum. With my fingers on the strings or any part of the guitar the hum stops. I have checked all the wiring. The weird thing is I took to to the shop and it didn't hum at all, the guy checked it out with his meter and said it was sweet. It hums when I run it through the PA and when I play at home with my Boss ME-50 with headphones...any clues or suggestions? what might be not earthing? I have lined all the cavitys etc
