Thank you very much for this. I just picked up an Ultra Strat and it was noisy af. I suspected it was a grounding issue but have very limited knowledge of how to diagnose or fix such a thing. Your video absolutely helped me discover what the issue was. I did some continuity testing and found the exact same thing that you show here with the bridge not being grounded. Unbelievably, after pulling it apart the ground wire to the bridge had just fallen off the soldered connection! I bought this guitar new a week ago! The old me would have just returned it, but after watching this and digging in I feel super confident and empowered to just repair it myself. Thanks so much!

I had a really bad noise problem with my Squier strat. Dunno why but the pickup selector lever was making the entire thing sound. I soldered a cable to it and then just put it into the screw next to it (it looks funny 😂) but it worked! I had to ground the pickup height screws too and the noise went down A LOT. It's now much better than it was before, I couldn't even play with that noise. The best option is to really, REALLY try the guitar before buying it. That way you can check if it has any undesirable noise.

Sounds like the selector switch wasn't making ground, on a squire it should have a bit of silver shielding under the controls, if the selector tisn't making a ground connection to that your ground continuity is broken, by soldering a wire to the screw you have fixed that broken connection. If it is still a bit noisy you could try shielding the cavities, see my other video here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1HeHtml-rZZ_qJg 👍 Happy jamming!

This video did the trick. While I was playing, suddenly there was very loud buzzing. I "looked" at the wiring which I had done, and I didn't see a disconnected wire, but I followed your continuity check with the multimeter, and it had to be a ground issue somewhere. Oh-- no continuity to the jack. I checked the jack soldering; it was solid there, but when I followed the wire from the jack to the pot, sure enough-- it had popped off the pot. Soldered back on and am getting those squishy strat tones once moreth :) 😊 THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !

HELP!!! ....I get crazy loud annoying buzzing/interference from every electric guitar I own...until I touch the strings or the bridge and it stops. It does it whether I am using my Orange amp or my Marshall. I bought new cables, put a Noise Gate on, and it still does it. Some nights its worse than others. If the guitar is sitting on the couch alone it wont buzz..as soon as I reach towards the strings it starts...pull my hand back and it stops. The intensity increases the closer my hand gets to the strings. Pick it up to play and it wails until I make contact with the strings. I have been reading a lot on this and so many different suggestions. Since this is happening with every amp and every guitar I own, it cant be a problem with the equipment and leads me to think that something else is interfering with the signal and me personally is the problem. Is there a way to "ground" myself? Could it be other electrical interference from inside the house? Thanks!

Hey man, sounds like some serious EMI (Electro Magnetic Interferance) from something. What happens is you are becoming an antenna, once you touch your guitar the signal is going to ground through your guitar. I would suggest first moving your equipment to another room, just to test, as it could be anything from the power supply in your computer to your mobile phone or a near by power supply like a TV or microwave. My soldering iron sets off all my gear. If you can eliminate the things in your home try shielding one of your guitars to see if that makes a difference.

I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard 60’s, I purchased it brand new in 2021. When using distortion, I have this buzz but it goes away when I touch any metal part, bridge, strings, tuners, anything. I have a 30 year old Epiphone Les Paul which doesn’t hum at all using the same amp, pedals etc. On my Gibson, the hum is there when using either pickup, and I’ve noticed that when I have the volume controls set to 10, I can start dialling it down and around 8 the hum gets louder than at 10. I thought it was a grounding issue, but everything I’ve read online shows that it is grounded fine because it goes away when touching the metal parts. Others are saying it’s the lack of shielding which no new Les Paul comes with, but many have installed shielding and it made no difference.

Les Paul’s all make a little bit of noise that’s normal, but for your Epiphone to not do the same on the same setup suggest it might have an issue. A 60’s LP is not a cheap bit of kit either. Without seeing it I think it could have a ground loop issue. When you dial the volume off it should send the signal to ground, does it go quite with the volume all the way down or do you still have noise?

Good question, my understanding is you don't actualy ground the guitar, the guitar grounds you... stay with me here, how this works is when the bridge, or the claw on a strat is properly connected you are a pretty good EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) antennae. Your body is an antenna for all sorts of EMI, so when you touch your guitar strings, the guitar is grounding you. When that wire is broken, you all of a sudden add EMI interference to the guitar creating extra noise. Hope I explained that clear enough.

Check the battery: Active pickups require a good battery to function properly. Make sure the battery is fully charged or replace it with a fresh one. Check the wiring: Make sure the wiring inside the guitar is properly connected and not loose or damaged. Check the grounding: Ensure that the guitar's grounding is properly connected to the bridge and other metal parts of the guitar. Shielding: Adding shielding to the guitar's electronics can help reduce noise. Check my video on my channel about this. Hope there is a solution here for you. Hard to determine without seeing the issue.

Hi there, I have a squier paranormal telecaster that has jazzmaster pickups and it’s insanely buzzy. I took it to a local tech and it didn’t buzz that loud on his amp - he said it was normal. However he did note that the hum gets louder when you touch the metal scratch plate. I mentioned that I was getting a scratch plate that isn’t metal and so he kind of made out that it wasn’t necessary to stop the hum to the scratch plate on that case. He put in the new pickups I got for it and said he’d sort out any bad wiring inside the guitar. However the scratch plate still makes the buzz louder. The buzz is really ruining the guitar and I’ve put quite a lot of money into upgrading it. I’ve got a fender strat that used to have single coils in it and that never made such noise. I’m so confused as to what the problem is! Your video makes me think that maybe he hasn’t fixed an issue with the wiring though since the scratch plate still causes the buzz to worsen? Amp is plugged into the wall, not into a multisocket too. When I touch the metal handle on the amp, the buzz goes quieter

If the noise stops when you touch any of your grounded metal parts then it is correct. A single coil will always be noisy and yours will be determined on how its been wired. Should only be noisy when the single coil is on, the 67 humbuckers should be resonably quite, although you will never get rid of all the noise as there is heaps of things that can cuase it.

I just bought a used 2007 Gibson Les Paul Studio off of Reverb (all stock). Guitar is noisy when plugged into my tube amp, or even a POD Go. Touching strings or bridge does not reduce noise. Touching either bridge or neck pickup kills it. (Even if I have the bridge pickup selected, touching neck pickup kills noise along with touching bridge pickup.) Touching output jack seems to help. If I touch the metal on the 3 way toggle switch noise gets much worse. I opened up and checked POTS, looks all connected and there is a wire coming from the bridge to POTS. Sounds like a ground issue between the 3 way switch and output jack? I like the guitar, but hope it is a cheap fix.

@@Tonymorales660 okay man, pretty hard to diagnose without having the guitar but from what you’ve given me it sounds like a promo guitar, where it makes noise when you turn down the volume, there could be a couple of things going on. First, make sure all the connections are secure and free of damage. Loose or damaged connections can cause unwanted noise. Next, check the grounding. A grounding issue can cause humming and buzzing sounds, especially when the volume is down. Including creating a ground loop which is what I think it is. Also, it's worth checking the pickups and making sure they're wired properly and not damaged. If the pickups and connections seem fine, it might be an issue with the pots (the knobs that control volume and tone). Dirty or worn out pots can cause popping and crackling noises. Lastly, if none of the above solutions work, you might want to try shielding the guitar's electronics to block interference. I don’t think this is your issue though. If you're not confident in your ability to troubleshoot and fix the issue, it's always best to take your guitar to a professional for help.

Hm im not sure if my problem is the same as this one or if its even a problem but: When i select my Bridge pickup i can hear that the background noise of the amp gets louder than on my neck pickup. Also when i touch the lower part of my bridge pickup the background noise gets louder. But if I touch any of the parts on the guitar that should be grounded at the same time as the pickup its not loud. Maybe this is normal?
