My guitar is humming a lot, at first I thought it was just a normal grounding issue but the hum gets worse when I touch any metal parts to ground it. Whether I touch the metal parts or not, the hum is audible even when playing but it is still kinda bearable. It gets significantly louder when I touch the strings etc.
I'm using a fender CIJ 70s strat. I'm sure that the noise isn't generated from the amp, cables or pedalboard cos I've used combinations of different cables, amps, guitars and bypassed the pedalboard when finding the source of the hum.
Anyone know what might be causing this? I'd prefer not to send it to a tech if its a simple solution and I haven't taken out the pickguard to check the electronics, only checked the jack and its fine. Thanks!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
