help needed
i recently put in wilkinson zebra pickups into my v100 great sound !I also got a jimmy page harness from tfc technology and installed that ,what fun playing with all those push pull combos!however I have come up against a problem for some reason the pickups have started to buzz which goes away when put my hands on the strings and returns once i remove my hand ,I also noted that touching the two adjusting screws that are mounted on either side of the humbucker for raising and loweriing, the buzz really becomes quite bad .Have taken out the harness and reinstalled folllowing instructions that came with it, nothing the same problem .Any suggestions would be welcome

It sounds like you might have a loose ground/earth connection...it usually is grounded on to the bridge post on LPs and SG's
hope this helps,,,,,

disgusted
never thought i would say it but these zebra humbuckers by wilkinson are really irritating me I wrote that i had installed a set and they were buzzing well another set arrived of which I had purchased from a different supplier and put them into my epiphone and the result yes ladies and gentlemne buzzing!I am so annoyed ,it cant be the amps as my lemon drop plays perfectly with no noise whatsoever what is wrong! I am left now with in s two guitars that are unplayable because of these pickups from hell has anyone else had similar problems .?

Re: help needed
If you've got the same problem with 2 sets of the same pickup, it might be something that comes before the pickups, like the input maybe?
