Custom Guitar
Building this guitar, thought it would be a fun project, initially bought it from TikTok for $50, and since it was cheap I figured I’d learn how to swap out some of the electronics and learn on a cheap guitar instead of something nice, so i switched it from an SSS to an SH pickup setup, still just using the 5-way switch even though it doesn’t need it, I want the guitar to have a worked on and rough outer appearance, so I left the middle pickup hole there on purpose, but the bridge I swapped and I’m still waiting on a neck but the guard pickups and some small pieces I’ve already replaced, anyway after wiring up the new pickups I plugged in the guitar to test them, and they work, I put my phone speaker up to them and sound comes clearly through my amp, they are high output pickups so I’m sure that’s where a lot of the noise comes from, but it does make a lot of noise, until you touch the metal, is this a grounding issue or is that expected of high output pickups?
