Hey guys, I finally got around to putting new pickups in my Wolfgang, but I think I have a grounding problem somewhere. I rewired the whole guitar, and the volume is pretty weak. If I touch the metal on the pickup switch or bridge, it goes back to normal. There's also a slight buzz when plugged into the amp. Both pickups work, but I have the same problem with weak volume unless I'm touching something metal on the guitar. I'm really surprised that I'm having problems, all those ghetto solder jobs I did when I was first learning to solder and install pickups worked perfectly fine on the first try. Now that I cleanly rewire the guitar, I'm having problems. I resoldered some of the grounds and made sure that the bridge was grounded properly, but it's still not right. I double checked the wiring of the pots and jack, and they are wired correctly. All my solder joints look nice and shiny, any idea what the problem might be? Any way I can use my multimeter to diagnose this? Thanks.
