Okay, here's the deal.
When Im not "using" my '52 RI, when Its just resting in my lap, it causes the amp to buzz a bit. But when I place a finger on a knob, string or whatever made of metal, it's quiet!
Is it a grounding issue?

I hope any of you wise men can help me.

Much appreciated.

This is totally, 100% normal as your pickups are not humbucking. You are literally adding to the ground when you touch anything metal on the guitar.
