Fender jaguar help!

I have a problem with my jaguar it seems to crackle a lot with the tremolo arm in and even a bit without when it's in an amp? When I took the trem apart to sort the tightness of the arm out it had like a tiny hole with a little bit of wiring coming through?? Is it broke?

I know nothing about electrics but the previous owner put quarter pounders in could it be the pick ups? Or the way he wired it?

Should I have it set up by someone who knows about pick ups and everything.

Cheers

We have a guitar luthier/pick up maker who lives on the outskirts of town he set up and replaced the bridge on my mates 63 Jag so gave him a ring and explained everything so he's going to set it all up and get rid of the horrible tunomatic and buzz stop as well.

If anyone want's the buzz stop and tunomatic bridge let me know if you pay the postage you can have em!

It sounds like he forgot to ground it properly. I just had the same issue because the last idiot didn't assemble it properly. In a few spots. But I was terribly busy that week. I also bought the Jag shield for under the pickups.

Yep can't wait for it to be sorted still will be a good price if all the work on it to get it set up and everything cost over 100 still have got a good deal for the guitar and hardcase anyway.
