Members vexed73 Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I put two emg sa and an 89 into a strat copy. Seems to have a grounding issue and scratchy pot even though it is new. Could a bad pot cuase the guitar to buzz when turned down but be absolutely quiet when turned up? Everything is grounded and this isnt my first time putting in pickups but dag on! Only buzzes when you turn the volume down and gets progressively worse as you go to 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aliensporebomb Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Are you using the EMG pots that came with the pickups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EADGBE Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Is the guitar's bridge grounded? EMG says it's not supposed to be. What about copper foil shielding? It shouldn't have that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
