Pickup hum
Have a 96 Asat Special and get some hum when selector switch is all the way forward and all the way back. Cancels out in middle position. Anybody ever try shielding pickup cavity to eliminate this? Any info or recommendations? Thanks guys! It's not real loud but will try to get rid of it if possible.

Re: Pickup hum
Unless it is really pronounced that would be normal/typical for single coil pickups.
In case you have not located it yet or if anyone pulls up this thread doing a search in the future here is a link to that Zippy thread: OK, electrical smart guys....am I just getting lucky?
