Actually, there is one set of grounded outlets, at least according to the tester I bought. Among the many things I have tried is using that outlet with a power conditioner and an extension cord and going to various points in my apartment with a simple test rig and there was no spot where the pickups weren't generating hum and harmonics of hum.

I meant to mention in my original post, that the hum is much less noxious with humbuckings (duh!) but still present, and I can't imagine living without the option of that single coil sound.

I will be talking to an electrician, the question is who. If anyone knows an audio oriented electrician in LA, I'd be grateful for a connect.
