I tried a couple different things like adjusting the pickup height and even messing around with my amp settings but the hum is still there and its still very annoying. If anyone can give me any advice it would be very appreciated. Im not really too inclined on the technical aspects of guitars and amps so Im hoping there is a simple solution to my problem. If it helps Im playing through a Line 6 Spider2. Any and all advice will be very welcome. Thanks.

Just picked up a gorgeous Fender Mexican Strat today. Brought it home to test it out on my amp. Plugged in and noticed a huge problem. There is a very loud buzzing/humming sound when I put my hand or fingers on or near the string or even when I touch the truss or the springs on the back of the guitar. Now you can imagine this is very frustrating seeing as how I just spent about $400 on this thing.
