Re: buzzing when i touch metal

if you have a multimeter

plug your guitar cable into the guitar

take the far end of the cable loose from the amp

turn your volume all the way up

the tip of the guitar cable should be attached to the hot leg of the volume pot

the sleeve ( the section just below the black ring) should be connected to ground

test tip to sleeve
this should read something like the resistance of the pickup selected

test tip to the bridge of the guitar
this again should read the resistance of the pickup selected

test sleeve to guitar bridge
this should read 0.0 or very very little resistance
as these two should be directly connected

again please post the results of the tests

this will enlighten us to the condition of the wiring

EDIT:
Dang
nevermind

Dude it was that ground on top of the tone pot,you had a blob of solder there and it was a cold solder joint
here is the pic i saw that, glad you fixed it though!
