I own a Baja, which I love.

However, the style I play requires quite a lot of gain and I typically obtain that from the gain channel of my ny Marshall Vintage Modern (called High Dynamic Range).

The problem is the guitar hums and hisses quite loudly at high volumes.
I know all single coils hum at high volume and high gain, but this guitar hums more than my Strat and other single coils I have used with this amp. I've had the amp tested and it's in top condition.

Have other Baja owners experienced this.

I am thinking of shielding the guitar with more foil, but is this likely to help?

It's never happened to me, but then I don't typically play with high gain. I'll have to pay closer attention next time. Hope you figure it out.

Twist the the 2 wires coming off each pickup into a tight pair as far back to the control plate as possible. Then do the same with the exit wires.
