Hi,
I have a luke 3 2013 model, I have hum noise on the positon neck and neck/middle
The noise is when I don't touch the strings
I think the volume neck pickup is higher than the other pickup
In the electronic cavity there is 2 pots, what is it?
Thanks
Pascal

The leftmost pot is the volume compensation for the single coils (to increase their volume relative to the humbucker). The other one sets the amount of boost available from the push/pull pot.

As for the noise- does it go away when you touch the strings? If so that's normal, you complete the ground when you touch the strings.

Thanks for the response
I decrease the volume compensation and now the hum noise on neck pickup is more acceptable
Do you know the setting factory of these trim pot?

I don't know if there is a factory setting, since the pots have tolerances and won't be the same. I'm guessing here.

These are the Transition pickups? They're noise cancelling so shouldn't hum. (Again, if it's just when you take your hands off the strings, that's not unusual.)

I think they are transition pickups
The trim pot volume compensation was full volume, that why the single pickups was very loud, louder than the humbucker, now it's good
