Not that type of pot!?!?!? Just kidding. I have an Eppi Exployer that i am trying to fix up after an extremely bad fall. The neck was broken clean off and one of the body horns needed glue.... It was a new guitar and it fell about 8 feet to the hard floor. Anyway i glued it back together and tried fireing it up but there is a funny ground problem in the electronics.... With both volume pots off there is still noise if i take my hands off the strings?!?!?? So i wonder if it could be a bad pot? Normally guitars are off and no noise when you turn all the pots to 0....... But this one still needs me to hold the strings to stop the ground noise.

Any Tips?

Sounds like a ground wire was knocked loose during the fall.

RyanI checked all that. All connections seem fine.... I talked to a local tech who agreed that the pots should be replaced as most Eppi's he has seen are in for pot and switch trouble... Cheap ass parts. But if some had the same trouble i thought i'd ask if i may be missing something
