Causes of noise!?


Ok, I've had this going on for a while now and I want to ask what you all think. I have been getting 'noise' with my guitar (HSH setup), and it only seems to be coming when the humbuckers are selected. I've resoldered the bridge earth as it looked a bit... dodgey. All other earth connections look nice and shiny and I don't think there's any ground loops. However, The noise vanishes WHENEVER AND WHERE-EVER I EARTH THE GUITAR WITH MY HAND. I can also create a similar effect when I move the green (Ground) wire (dimarzio pickup) of the selected pickup. Is this strange? Is this noise just due to outside factors that the pickup is 'picking' up? Am I just introducing some kind of current/noise when I'm touching the green? What would you recommend I do? Is there anything else I need to know to 'diagnose' this?
Thanks, I do need help on this as I want my guitars up to scratch and I don't have faith in my local luthiers abilities tbh.
Regards
Jon
