Hi.
I'd agree with Dave here plus it might be an idea to check the pickup earthing, jack sockets for condition and wear.
On occasions I've had to jump in the van and go to the venue and see if the problem is due to location. One such visit saw earth connections missing from extensions, screened leads running alongside mains cables and additional screened lead extensions to the amp.
Many musicians tend to leave repairs to the last minute so jobs are often rushed or they forget to bring the whole lot including the amplifier.
Perhaps in this instance ask the customer to bring all his gear including extensions and anything that is connected to the amp that could be a source of hum, the problem may not be the guitar but any other add-on.
