stingray problem

[loudandclear]

I have recently purchased a second hand (about two year old) stingray. It is fantastic and the best guitar I have owned. It has however developed a buzzing at medium to high volumes which is an earthing issue - when you touch the strings or bridge or jack input it stops. I have obtained a wiring diagram which indicates that the earthing wire goes from jack input to bridge but have also been told that it could be anywhere in the wiring of the guitar. I have tried with different leads and a different amp so am fairly sure it is the guitar - any opinions or advice or help on how to cure this would be very much appreciated
thanks

Can anyone help with this one?

It's developed since you got it?

Have you changed venues? Does it all the time?

to be honest I dont know if it has developed since I got it as the first time I noticed it was at the first practice I used it at when the volume was loud enough for it to be heard - it is not audible at low volumes but it does happen at home at loud volumes - I have changed leads amps etc so I am pretty sure it is the guitar - I read an earlier thread that suggested running a lead from the volue pot to a screw on the scratch plate - this does seem to have some small effect but not cure the problem. I appreciate that this is probably quite difficult to comment but any ideas would be gratefully received

it sounds like a ground wire somewhere.


if it was your house, othe rinstruments would do it.

odds are, someone was in there ****ing with things, and pulled the ground wire(the black that goes from the input to the bridge.

bring it to a guitar shop and have them look at it.

Sounds like great advice.
