Hey guys,

Im doing a homebuilt guitar and got a Bluesbucker and PAF 36th Anniversary Bridge humbucker pickups for it.
I wired it up with a push/pull pot to get a coil split and the pickups sound great but there was a nasty buzz that went away when I touched the pickups/any ground wires. I figured its a grounding issue due to bad solder joints or incorrect grounding wiring. So I took everything out and re-wired everything with new pots (I bought 2 of each just in case I have problems with one) but there is still a nasty buzz. All the pots/switchs/pickups were grounded.
So again I took everything out and decided to test each pickup directly wired to the jack. Each pickup alone has the same nasty buzz when directly wired to the jack and the buzz goes away when I touch the pickup. I think its obviously a weird grounding issue and tried touching a wire connected to ground to the baseplate of the pickup and nothing changed.

 I then thought that maybe my amp (Vox AC15C1) was a little weird so I plugged in my Fender Strat and Gretsch Hollowbody and both were COMPLETELY silent.

Any suggestions? The pickups are brand new. Are they just naturally noisy? Although that would seem a little weird since my Strat's single coils are much quieter.

Thanks!
