The guitar is a rear route Strat with 3 single coils. The pickups sound great, and I'm very happy with the tone. However, if I'm not touching the strings, or other metal, the guitar pickups up significant hum beyond the expected 60 cycle hum. When I do touch the strings everything sounds like it should and I get the 60 cycle hum in positions 1,3,5, and it's dead quiet in 2, and 4. Remove my hand and I have loud hum in all positions.
Using a multimeter I have a clear signal from the output jack to the strings, between all three pots, I even grounded the switch since there is no pickguard. I'm sure what else to check. Any thoughts?
