    Default bad ground!?

    I installed the Full Shred bridge pickup into my guitar and followed the wiring diagrams on the website and used the 1 humbucker one volume one tone. Now when ever I take my hands OFF of the strings or anything metal it makes a static clicking noise and hums. I changed the ground wire to the bridge and the input jack wires and it still does that I can't figure out what is wrong. I tried another amp at my friends house and it did the same thing (static clicking hum). I have a few other guitars I play on the same amp and they don't do that what could be the problem?
    oh yeah when I touch my stomp box the same thing happens.

    Yes, you need to ground the bridge of the guitar too. The strings will be grounded then. Just a wire from the bridge to the back of one of the pots (assumed they're grounded too).

    Welcome to the forum.
