The problem may not be with the guitar but with the guitar/amplifier/ lead combination. I have found over the years that some guitarists new to them don't realise that the pickups are sensitive to the magnetic fields from the mains transformer, so orientation and distance play a part. The lead itself may be worn i.e. Crushed in places where the screen is ineffective. Valve amp transformers are notorious for this effect and they should be at least 6 feet or more away.
