High pitch feedback from bridge pickup with tone on.

Make sure your Jack's nut is tight. Then before putting the cover back on, make sure nothing in the wiring or metal contacts.wires etc of the jack are touching where they shouldn't.

Ill do that lmao

How does a pickup go microphonic?
This is interesting. I've never heard of such a thing.

Yes. It happens. Usually some of the windings shift sideways and this causes the tension on the strands to loosen and that area vibrates, causing an uncontrollable oscillation...which manifests itself as a squeal.

And all is well once again.

Well I read the responses and realized that I didn't do my usual checking before asking for help so I went back and check it out further. After plugging it in i discovered that it was noisy when my hand touched the bridge or near the strings so I took the back covet off. While moving wires around and moving the cap, I discovered the output jack was loose. I'm not sure what fixed it but the noise is gone. Thanks for your help everyone! I appreciate it!

On the inside of the guitar the jack should have an internal toothed lock washer.


On the outside of the guitar jack should be a flat washer.


If you are missing the 2 washers, the jack is likely to become unscrewed.
