My brother just bought a used Ibanez hollowbody. He got it real cheap because the neck pickup does not work. When i was checking it out I noticed that if I touched the neck pickup with one hand while i played it would work but with a lot of hum. Tell me if I'm wrong but that makes me think that the problem is that the pickup is not properly grounded. I've done some wiring before (I built and wired a warmoth strat) but I've never worked on a hollowbody or humbucker pickups before. I took out the pickup expecting to see a loose grounding wire but instead I only saw one wire that went directly to the 3-way pickup selection switch. So my quiestion is where should I connect a grounding wire from/to or am I completely wrong and there's some other problem altogether?
Thanks for your help
