Re: buzzing when i touch metal

this is really aggravating, do you think that for some reason its not being grounded from the bridge?

That not a issue because if it were not grounding from the bridge you would still get a signal but a lot of hum when you took you hands off the guitar

try disconnecting the bridge wire and see what happens?

Re: buzzing when i touch metal

i really am stumped on this one, not even the slighest idea what it could be, im guessing that since when i start grounding some of the signal with the pot, and i touch the knob it buzzes, so its related to grounding, but the ground is working fine,

another bit of info. for anyone, the pole pieces of the pup dont buzz when touched

I always hear metal when I touch my guitar.

another update: dont know what this signifies, but whenever i take the jack out from the body of the guitar the buzzing greatly decreases, its an electrosocket style, so when i pull the jack out of the body, the buzzing goes down a lot, what does this mean?

black marks signifies hot wire

Re: buzzing when i touch metal

Where is the white wire from the pu going to? i cant make it out? the white hot for the pu should go to the first lug of the pot.
Your ground from input jack to pot,the connection looks bad there as well?
I see a lump of solder on top of the tone pot? it does not look like a clean connection at all!

Re: buzzing when i touch metal

The ground wires have to all be interconnected, and be soldered to every pot, toggle, and jack in a big loop. Miss one and you get noise. Maybe one of the connections isn't good (cold solder).

Blueman thats what i was thinking. If you look at his groud to tone pot from input jack it is a blob of solder,looks like a bad connection to me?
