Thought it may be a wiring problem with ground, I'll try this although both pots were just installed yesterday so it sure about grind buildup yet

thanks

You’d be surprised how much residue from the manufacturing process is left behind? Trust me, this is something that’s quite common?

I don't think this prewired pickup was wired correctly

Can a detailed picture of correct wiring for a pickup, tone pot with capacitor, volume pot and output jack be posted?

I unsoldered all components and will want to start from scratch, thanks

Ted over on Handmade Music Clubhouse has a large number of tone/volume wiring diagrams
