J.Custom RG8420zd pickups noise (duncans)

[^MoZaRt^]

Hi, i have a question about seymour duncan pickups.
I found my RG8420zd pickups much noisier compared to my S540LTD.
I don't know if it's normal for these pickups or maybe there is a problem in connections or soldering or something else
Does anyone among RG8420zd owners have the same issue ?

I own one....have to say, no problem with mine.
I think Seymour are a natural choice for mahogany guitars....but everyone to their own.
Custom 5 (Trembucker 14) in the neck.

My Red J-Custom was a bit noisier but my Purple one is super quiet. Open the cavity and check to make sure that all of the wiring is soldered correctly and that there isn't anything touching, etc. Could be the pickup itself.....switch between them and see if the noise stops when you switch to the neck.
