I'd ask this on the Kinman forums but their site seems to have gone poof.
I'm runing Kinman's in my Telecaster build. Overall they sound fantastic but the silent operation thing isn't quite working. They're quieter but not silent...except when I touch any metalic part of the guitar: knobs, control plate, strings, bridge, bridge plate, even the cover of the neck pickup. Then they are dead silent.
So I've clearly screwed up something in the wiring but I've got over it a dozen times and I can't for the life of me figure out what I missed. The bridge is connected to the ground plane via the back of a pot. The input jack's ground is solid.
I did not shield the cavities of the guitar -- maybe that's it?
Any thoughts on where I went wrong?
