Noisy coils X-175 Manhattan, can there be silence?

[Nino]

Hi i just got brand new Guild X-175 Manhattan and there is a noise, i couldn't believe my ears.
So can someone advise me on this?

I tested in a guitar shop and direct in to my sound card, same thing.

Welcome. While it might not directly applicable to your case, I have had several recent experiences with "noisy" pickups that, upon further investigation were something else in the environment. In addition to the usual suspects - light dimmer switches, microwave ovens and wireless telephones, I was recently reminded that wi-fi routers and cell phones are also sources of noise that my pickup(s) will pick up. I even have a noise that only occurs when I am doing laundry and I suspect the washer below my practice room. So it is possible there is nothing wrong with your instrument.

No answer for you Nino, but welcome!

Is this a good solution for my Guild, they say it is noisless?

single coil pickups hum. I've never found this to be a real problem.

Can you describe the noise? Yes, single coils hum. That's why humbuckers were invented. How much and how they hum is widely dependent on the environment.

Especially with all the stray RF floating around out there these days, like Frono said.

What most people don't realize is that they need to be properly grounded to be effective:

Control of transmission will be returned to the Original Poster shortly.

Have you checked with a different guitar cable?

That sounds exactly like single coil hum, based on the sample of just noise. How loud it is compared to the mix is harder to tell. If I sit on my amp, it will sound this way. You can certainly try a better cable. Make sure the outlet in the wall is properly grounded, and that the amp is grounded, to make sure it's not a ground look , but, as someone said, that is why Humbuckers were invented. I couldn't hear the noise over your playing on the first link. I could on the noise only link.

First of all, Nino, I loved your playing. Well done.

As for the noise, I honestly did not hear anything in the first or third example but beautiful music. I did hear the hum in the middle one but, like John, that sounded to me like 60 cycle hum that is present to some extent in most single coil pickups. What is causing the sliding noise on it? Does the loudness of the hum change depending on your position with relation to the amp?

I think the sliding noise is Nino's hand. Sounds like a short section that's been looped.
