GFS sent me the 250k pots for frees because they shipped 500s instead. Pretty awesome of them. However the Neovin neck pickup is fubar and isn't internally grounded to the chrome cover like it should be. Discussing this with their tech man over email over the last couple of days. The pickup is wired directly to the jack and it still buzzes.
Correct me if i'm wrong, if the pickup is wired directly to the jack, and it buzzes, it can only be the pickup causing the problem. [The jack is brand new aswell]

Last time I had buzzing problems I fiddled around and got the buzing to stop by checking and resoldering all the ground wires. Also, accidentally cut the bridge pickup lead when rattatching the pickguard assembly, it was awesome.
