I just picked up my new 2010 telecaster with N3 noiseless pickups. I'm not sure why they call them noiseless. I get loud buzzing when my hands are off the guitar. I tried different amps, standing in different areas, different venues. I even went back to the store where I bought it from to try other 2010 teles and they all buzz the same. Anyone experience this same problem? Anyone got any answers to stop the buzzing? I'm about ready to take the guitar back. I so much want this to work. Love the guitar but the buzzing is driving me nuts. :(

Hi zigg384,

It sounds like the bridge plate may not be grounded well, or at all. I have a 2009 Am Std, not noiseless pickups, and I have the traditional hum/buzz when turned up, but there is no difference when I let go of it. What did the store say about warranty fix?

Does the noise go away when you turn the volume down? If your hands aren't on it, then you aren't playing, turn down the vol.... :wink:

Zigg,

You should not be getting loud buzzing from your Tele. Although I haven't played through the N3's yet (My Deluxe is coming soon), I've read posts from those who have and they say even with huge amounts of gain, there is no noise. Let us know if you find/found anything out!

I have the N3's in my American Deluxe and they are very quiet, even with massive gain. It is almost like they have a built in noise gate.
