My Korina explorer arrived today and when I take my hand of the strings there is a loud humming noise. Plus sometimes when I shut off the neck volume and the bridge volume the sound does not shut off all the way. There is still sound leaking through. It's a 2008 so do you think I should put it a new neck and bridge pot? Not sure about the loud hum when I take my hand away from the strings.

check to see if it's grounded -
Not grounded, for sure.aka Chris Pile, formerly of Six String FeverComment

Can you confirm that this is happening when in a different building connected to different electricity, too?
As far as the volume not completely off, that is a ground issue, so you might try to post some clear photos of the electronics here.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Ground issue, as said. Easy fix overall.The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.Comment

The volume not going to zero can also sometimes be cured by a shot of Deoxit. Anyone who owns a guitar, should have a can of Deoxit. One can is usually a lifetime supply.
