Hey there,

I bought a used Fender Mustang Pawn Shop Lake Placid Blue a month ago and I love the guitar. Very versatile and I like the short scale and small shape of it.

However, I find the guitar extremely noisy. There is a constant and loud "hum" when I am not touching the strings or any of the metal parts of the guitar. Much more noisy than my Telecaster American Standard, my Gibson Les Paul Studio Lite and my Danelectro Dead on 67 Agent Orange.

My Mustang Pawn Shop also produces a clicking sound when I switch the Gibson style switch located underneath the neck humbucker.

Do you think there might be a problem with the guitar? Do you think it could be a grounding issue? Do you have the same problem with your Mustang Pawn shop?

Thanks guys!
Frederick

If hum stop when touch strings , you have a ground problem in the guitar. Bad ground connection or missing wire.

Do you have a tester/ ohmeter ?
To be sure ; is your amp is alright , house wall outlet ground ok ?
