Eliminating The Hum From The Coils, An easy solution for not scared of soldering Options

[utak3r]

If you can hear a hum from your coils (you can recognize it by touching the strings - if it goes away, it's from coils) there's an easy solution for you.
Today I was restringing my axe and started to think if I can get rid of this horrible hum....
Well - yes, I succeeded

I opened the electronics, took 0.047 µF capacitor with my isolated pincers (it's very important, they have to be isolated, as your body have a huge influence, you can't touch anything in your guitar while doing this), and tried to connect chassises of the potentiometers. When I connected the main volume with a tone of the bridge coil - the hum has gone!

So I took my soldering gun and soldered this capacitor (joining the chassises of them). While you're there, you can get a review if all the ground wires are on their places and connected to the socket's ground.

It's really easy, don't be afraid - guitar electronics hardly can be named as electronics it's just a few big elements. Go and try!
