First you should check the guitar under some circumstances, per example, if you usually play next to the PC or some other sort of energy that may be incrasing the hum, like fluoescent lights as well, so you may want to stay away from it while playing. If you play with a band and the guitar is buzzing like crazy, your amplifier should be checked too, in case you haven't you tried it with another single-coil guitar.

If it's all ok with the amp, try using some metal-foil inside the guitar's cavities to shield it. You can read more about it here:

If the shielding doesn't quiet the hum, get something like this : :wink:
