Hi,
I picked up a MIM telecaster in March (which is a solid instrument for the price) and am really enjoying it while I can. The stock single-coils sound nice enough to me but this guitar is a buzzy and noisy monster.
I have to turn off nearly all the lights to stop the buzz, BUT! I also have to touch the plating that holds the volume and tone knob to silence a particularly higher-pitched buzz. I am not sure if this is an insulation problem or a grounding problem, but I'd like to fix this as it would be near impossible to record under these conditions (got the guit for my home studio).
Do you have any suggestions on how to stop the hum/buzz or could you point me off in the right direction?
J-
