Edwards LPC, with Duncans problem.
Edwards LPC, with Duncans problem.
So I just got this beautiful LPC from Edwards. It's fucking ace, except the pickups. I'm used to EMG's (I have three EMG equipped guitars).
So this one buzzes when not playing, so I thought it might be a grounding problem, but tried my old passive guitar (which I havent touched in 4 years), and it buzzes the same. Some guys said it's most likely no fault with the guitar, only that it's the passives.
The guitar came with gold pickup covers, but they're removed. ( I still got them though) cause the guy I bought it from said that there was a huge feedback with them on. Now it's those zebra duncans, they're ugly. I want to get black pickup covers, and if I get those installed correctly, shouldn't the buzz kinda go away at least some? I mean since the gold covers did have something to do with the noise.
My advice would be line the pickup cavities with some copper shielding tape in conjunction with the new covers. Besides that, maybe try and line the control cavity with the tape as well, but if there's already the black conductive paint in there I'd imagine the tape wouldn't do much more, but it probably couldn't hurt. That's my guess at least, good luck.
