  • Need to show step by step process

  • I'm glad I watched this video, because I'm working on a guitar project, and just had a telecaster pickguard custom made from TX mesquite wood. I couldn't understand the name of the website though.

  • @willyredeemed cool thanks for the info man, yeah I guess it's something that can be lived with so it's cool...

  • @SunnyCool single coil pickups for teles and strats naturally have what they call 60-cycle hum. this is accentuated if your guitar or amp is plugged in near computers, florescent lights, dimmers, bad electrical wiring in house, no electrical outlet ground, etc. no tele or strat will be completely quiet and you'll always hear some sort of hum from single coil pickups. the exception is if you have humbuckers...these are two pickups that are wired together in series to cancel out hum.

  • @willyredeemed yeah fairly new to grounding my guitar, see I got a Strat, I got a slight hum... Narrowed it down to the guitar after checking all cables, pedals and surrounding electrical appliances heh. thanks for this vid

  • @SunnyCool what type of guitar are you playing? most telecasters made by fender should have a ground for the pickups. in the vid, i was pointing to a metal tab in the cavity.
