I have a feeling that the bridge wire was not connected properly to the studs when it was installed.
I hooked up my Regal to my Marshall amp and cranked the gain. The buzz was terrible until I touched the bridge, then it was completely gone. The underlying hissing of the high gain was still there and that I had expected. When I lowered the gain and even switched over to the clean channel, the bad buzzing was still there, until I again, touched the bridge.
Touching the strings lowered the buzz but did not eliminate it. I took the cover off the back and took a separate wire and went from the bridge ground wire and touched it to my hands, it lowered the buzz, but did not eliminate it like when i touched the bridge. touching each of the pots lowered the buzz, but did not eliminate it. Touching the outer part of the input jack also lowered the buzz, but did not eliminate it. It seems that only touching the bridge (studs) eliminates the buzzing (leaving only the hiss of the high gain, or nothing on the clean channel).
Any thoughts???
