New T-Style bridge pickup on Epiphone 70s Flying V making high pitched noise
Noticed when I am playing the bridge pick up makes this whistling dangling noise, especially when I add an OD (more gain). In the clip you hear the difference between the neck (tick tick) and the bridge (dzjing dzing, like a bell or whatever) when I tick it with my pick. I recently swapped the pick guard but it was doing this before already. I think the nickel cover of the pick up is loose or something with the wax (assuming they are potted, like all Epi humbuckers, but the IBG 70s Flying V are the first to have these T-Type PRO Humbuckers), maybe it's microphonic? Never really was an expert on this area, but does anyone have any other ideas? At lower gain it hardly makes that noise but soon as I switch on an OD or Klon style drive before distortion, it's bingo.
Edit: I am not playing but ticking the pick up on purpose and without hitting the strings, to reproduce the sound. I change pick selector from bridge to neck and back, to make clear that neck pick up is quiet but bridge pick up makes the noise. The noise is audible when I am playing on bridge pick up though, even through my Decimator 2 noise gate.
