Quick Fix for 60 cycle Hum


I have a Strat with the H-S-S pickup configuration. No matter where my pickup selector is, I get a constant buzzing or humming. I would assume this is coming from some kind of electrical interference. Is there a "quick fix" (ie: grounding my guitar, shielding anything) as opposed to buying an expensive power supply?

Slave coils with opposite polarity to those single-colis being used.
You don't need pole pieces, just attach them to the body.
Anything is worth trying.

I am a Fender guy and I know how you feel.You can go and have it shielded or you can put in a differant pickup,I use Dimarzio fast tracks they are great with 3 times the output of a stock single coil.If you decide to switch pups just save the originals so if you sell your ax you get the right price.
