Hi everybody, I am a complete noob to electric guitar and have encountered a problem with EMI buzz on my new Squire Mustang Bullet HH.

I have tried to isolate the source of the buzz by unplugging my cable from the guitar...as soon as I do the problem disappears completely.

I have tried switching cables. No fix.

As soon as I plug in my HH the buzz appears.

If i touch the bridge or any metal component the buzz fades...but not 100%...maybe like 90%.

Here is the weird thing: ONE of my cables...(HOSA) brand...IF i kind of wiggle it and twist it in the socket of the guitar the buzz disappears and the guitar is dead quiet and plays beautifully ! If i wiggle it again... the buzz comes back. The OTHER cable... also a new HOSA brand does not do that. I have checked the cables with my voltmeter/continuity tester and they are fine. (I am going to test them on my oscilloscope and frequency generator to see if there is a capacitance problem.)

I have checked the socket and the ground IS connected fine. (even if the wires are a little too small for my liking)

The guitar and amp are both brand new so I am not keen on pulling them apart...

ANY suggestions on what to try next ??

MANY thanks !

Look a bad ground on you guitar output jack,; you need to replace the jack or do a better solder or both.

Jack; always buy a Switchraft jack , it is for the life
