Hello,
I have an early Special Semi-hollow, back when they were called custom. It has the 58/15LTs in it. I have never messed with the guitar as far as electronics or that stuff. I also perched the guitar from Peach Guitars in England so I have no reason to think that I got a lemon or something.
anyway, the pickups are noisy. they hum like single coils, doesn't matter if i have the splits on or off. I have to use a volume pedal or volume knob to stop the hum if i am not playing. Also, i found out this past weekend that they are super microphonic. I got my phone out so i could listen to a song and when my phone started playing the song started going out over the PA because it was picked up by the pickups and my volume pedal was not off.
Is this normal? Should I have the guitar looked at? or is this just what I have to deal with? I have a 2018 S2 and have never had these issues.
Thanks in advance,
Riley
