But I would not return it or anything like that.

I'm new here and this is my first post. I just got a new Doheny and it sounds fantastic. The only issue is that when I remove my hands from the strings (or any other metal element) a loud hum occurs, along with popping and crackling. Placing my hand on the bridge eliminates the problem, but alters my technique and desired strum placement. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a loose or broken ground connection? I really want to keep the guitar, but all that noise makes it unplayable.
Thanks
