So I have an interesting problem that I can't figure out with my guitar. I just bought a brand new Godin Core. It has a Les Paul-ish body with 2-tone, 2-volume, 3-way switch and 2 humbucker pickups. I currently have the Tremonti PRS signature pickups from an old build and installed them into this guitar. Here is the problem I'm having:

Selector switch is set on bridge.
Bridge volume is turned all the way off.
Neck volume is turned all the way up.
If I strum my guitar I can faintly hear the noise from the neck pickup come through my amp.
It is more pronounced if you switch everything. Selector on neck, neck volume 0, bridge volume 10. Obviously because of the hotter pickup and when its coming through a higher gain stage on the amp.

Any ideas what the problem could be? I've switched out pickups before and never had any problems. Could this be improper grounding and it's bleeding through that way?
I have noticed that if I have the above scenario: selector on bridge, bridge volume 0, neck volume 10, I hear the neck pickup. And as I roll the neck volume to 0 the sound goes away.
I know there's crossover happening, I just don't know where.
Any input is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Snowrider972 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/pickups-bleed-into-one-another/#post-44173
