Redneck Technology 101

So, I have a super-sensitive classical electric with both a built in mic and piezo and it hums like crazy when I use my Focusrite.

My luthier and I looked at everything under the sun, the guitar is wired and grounded perfectly. The luthier said:

“You have too many electronics in your room but basically your guitar hates your computer.”

Well, then.

Not to be deterred, I thought “What would Herb Hartley do?”

And then it struck me.

Wind some soldering iron onto a piece of speaker wire, coil it around a metal footrest, attach one end to the cable plug on the guitar, and then step on it.

I am sure Herb is one of the few who will appreciate my redneck genius, but I have to ask:

On a scale of 1 to 1,000 how high did I score on the redneck technology scale? (RTS.)

By the way, no more hum.
