As in the title, I'm having a substantial ground buzz on my neck pick up when I touch the casing/metal of the pick up. Bridge and Neck together, substantially reduced buzz. Bridge alone is fine. Everything else is fine. I believe it to be in stock condition although I haven't looked inside. Will pug into other circuits in the house to see if that is an issue. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Pull out the pickup and check the solder connections on the terminal lugs. If those look good then check the connections on the volume and tone pot for that pick up. Not exactly sure but there should be a ground connection between volume and tone for neck volume and tone and for bridge. Somewhere there's a bad solder joint or a loose wire.
