DAngelico Deluxe SS Satin Brown Burst

Looks cool, plays nice, sounds how I wanted it to sound (nice round tone on the neck), not a fat neck. The coil-split tones aren't that useful. One sharp fret-end, but not the end of the world, that.
However: a clear grounding issue. An obvious hum unless I am touching the pickup, pot, or edge of the cable. Renders it unusable for recording, any sort of overdrive. And harder to fix, it being a semi hollow. Should be obvious to anyone that plugs it in, so poor QC.
