My 594 seems to have developed a ground issue and - as I'm a complete electronics newb - I'm uncertain what needs done.
It's not always done this and I first started noticing a clicking sound as my hand moved along the neck when playing. Not unlike that discussed in a GENERAL DISCUSSION thread titled, "Noise touching frets." I thought it might've been the cable or 'amp' I was plugged into, however, have tried several with similar results. The buzz also lessens/goes away when touching the bridge or tailpiece.
This past weekend I took the back plates off and used an Allen key to touch a few things and see if it changed. Sure enough it did. I made a video which can be seen by searching "PRS McCarty 594 Ground Issue" on YouTube. In this video, I'm plugged directly into a Fender Blues Jr.
I'd post links to the referenced thread and video; however - also a forum newb, I've not reached my 3 post minimum. ;-)
I found the wiring diagram via the PRS site and things LOOK correct, however, I'm uncertain.
Any advice, guidance or assistance will be greatly appreciated.
