I can't understand how y'all have so many problems in churches and homes and I play in beer joints and roadhouses and everything in between with all manners of bad wiring and have little to no trouble with all my Strats with single coils....does that make me lucky or what.... :mrgreen:

When my guitar instructor plugs one of his single coil Strats into one of my amps at my house, it is very quiet. If he then hands that same guitar to me, it hums and buzzes like a bumble bee. I think the fact that I outweigh him by about 50 pounds, making me a much larger ground plane, may have something to do with it. :lol:

Well I'm a skinny old dude so that's it! :lol:

Ah......so that's it. Mho-lecular density and excessive corpulent capacitance!

You're not the only one. Just turn the gain up so much that the audience can't notice the guitar buzzing because of their teeth buzzing. That's my motto.

From what I could garner after a brief browse of that page (because it is incredibly unreadable) is that the authors solution to a single coil hum is to put as many capacitors in the circuit as you can ram in there.
Like I said, I paid it very little attention. There are better things to do. Like hammer 4inch nails into my toes.

Bluesky your cover is blown.
