I have a new (used) RG170 that has a very annoying electric buzz to it. Not a fret buzz, but a "hum" that is electrical in nature. It is the same no matter what position the pickup selector switch is in. It's worse if I touch the strings, but better if I touch the output jack. Any ideas for a cure? |

Sounds like the + and - are backwards on the output jack?

Possible. Looks like it has been repaired. The internal wire of the coax should be connected to the part that contacts the tip of the plug, right? |

Exactly right, other Michael (my name, too!). It looks like the jack had been replaced, and the wires were connected incorrectly. Switched them around, and a big difference!
No wonder I got it for such a bargain... |
