Hey!
I have just installed a new set of pickups in my TA Classic - H2, SA1, SA1R. Tom has kindly supplied me with a new pickguard and a diagram for the S5-switching.
Everything seames to be working just fine except for this terrible buzz i get when touching the pups... some sort of grounding issue, i suppose but i can't get rid of it.
Any ideas?

the poles on the first coil in the series of a humbucker are as close to hot as they are to ground, so they will hum when you touch them like if you touched the hot tip of a cable end. being under the strings i don't see how that would happen playing the guitar.

Thank you Tom!
Does that apply to all three pickups or just the H2? The thing is that they all hum when selected and touched.
