You do know that a rod piezo works from string pressure on the saddle and the saddle directly on the rod.

Well, the hum is fairly tolerable.  It sounds good when played.  I hum when I don't know the lyrics.  Good luck, Janne, but it IS a nice git as is.  Is it better if you get 5 or 6 feet from the amp?

Dont ground bolt.It humms without bolts/strings.I take piezo off lid and still humms.Amp is 40 W Mustang 2.Only these rods humm.Dics not.If I take gain off it helps but I want that dirty sound.And this guitar is order to birthday present.So Dont wanna give humming guitar out :/ maybe better use single coil...but dont wanna ruin that plate.If touch strings still humm.Only when touch wire it stops.

Also, it seems like when I plug any of my builds with piezo's into a high wattage amp I get that humming. Plug them into 10 watts or less and no hum. When I plug the single coil or humbucker builds to a big amp I get no humming.
