<p>So I got my lap steel painted up, ready to go, install the humbucker and it doesn't buck.. it hums</p>
<p>I had the issue in my CBG with a single coil and attaching foil to ground all internals solved it.</p>
<p>How might I quiet my lap steel with no insides to shield?</p>
<p>It is wired correctly, and will quiet when I touch the jackplate or pickup</p>

<div class="discussion"><div class="description"><div class="xg_user_generated"><p>Hey I got a lap steel kit from CB Gitty and am about to drill the holes below the bridge for the string feed.</p>
<p>Has anyone here put them together using the plans that come with the kit?</p>
<p>If so, should the string feeds be a bit unevenly spaced as the directions show? It would have the two highest strings a bit closer to each other. I've never played a lap steel regularly so not sure what's…</p>

<p>The directions show this spacing between strings from low to high</p>
<p>3/8, 3/8, 1/2, 1/2, 1/4</p>
<p>I feel inclined to ignore it and space them evenly, but thought I'd get some feedback here first.</p>

<p>I am building a simple lap steel. I would like to buy a pickup ( 6 string) that is already to go ( dont want to build it) Any suggestions on where to go to find one. My strings spacing on my bridge is 2.024 E-E center</p>
