I handcraft electric guitars & ever since we have moved to a new location I have a noise issue with the guitars.
Not sure what sort of noise it is called white, pink etc, just a fuzz type of sound that disapears when you touch the strings or the controls, pickups etc or any metal cover parts.
The bridge is earthed & all the control pots are earthed on the back, I have copper shielding tape under the pickups & in the control cavity with an earth wire to the shielding.
This noise is amplified when using any effects with gain & is an issue, with some amps you here it more than others & not at all in some. It's not noticable when playing the guitar as you are touching it.
Any idea's how I can eliminate this noise?
I have included a wiring diagram very simillar to what I use.
My control covers & output jack plates are metal but I don't have an earth wire to these?
Cheers
