So, I installed the pickups, put in a new output jack, and all i get is a buzz. A loud buzz which varies in volume when I adjust the volume controll. What did I do, and how do I fix it?

Re: Get rid of the buzz
You did something wrong. :laugh2: To say how to fix it, a lot more details are needed - control setup, pickups, what colour wires are going where.
Alternatively, you could just pretend you're using a permanent fuzz pedal on 10? :banana:

Sounds like you might have wired the output jack backwards. It should be sleeve=ground, and tip=hot.

Re: Get rid of the buzz
All of it looks soldered down, the only thing was that I had to add an extra lenght of wire to the capacitor to get the lenght to attach to both pots, the only other thing is that I may have nicked the white wire.
