Hello,

I bought a new Squier Vintage Modified SH Telecaster 11 months ago.  I love it as much as my other Squier and Fender telecaster guitars.  The guitar has shielding paint on the inside. I also put a shield under the pick guard. The problem that I have, is that the bridge pickup has the 60 cycle hum like a standard single coil and I don't think it should.  I believe it may have been wired wrong at the factory.  I can't find Squier wiring diagrams on www.fender.com, but I did download and save the wiring diagram from www.squierguitars.com before it went off line. By the way, I email Fender but they have not responded.

The guitar has:
Duncan Designed HB 102 humbucker (4 wire) in the neck.

Duncan Designed TE-103B Stack (4 wire) in the bridge.

Before www.squierguitars.com went off line, I downloaded the wiring diagram, which indicates:
Neck pickup:
White/Red ---> together
Green ---> switch
Black ---> ground
Bridge pickup:
Green/Red ---> together
White ---> switch
Black ---> ground

The factory wired my neck pickup as indicated above (and in the Squier wiring diagram), but the factory actually wired the bridge pickup this way:
Bridge pickup (actual):
White/Red ---> together
Green ---> switch
Black ---> ground

I found a wiring diagram for a 2 Humbucker Telecaster on the Seymour Duncan web site which indicates the following:
Neck pickup:
White/Red ---> together
Black ---> switch
Green & Bare ---> ground
Bridge pickup:
Green/Red ---> together
Black ---> switch
Green & Bare ---> ground

Also, I measured the following resistances:
Neck position 7.27K
Middle position 4.33K
Bridge position 10.15K

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get rid of the hum on the bridge pickup?

Thank you very much for you time and effort,
