So at the last minute I decided for the jaguar hh. I know it is not so surfy "Stock" but I figured out that it would be easier to modify than an old jaguar. Well not exactly easier but cheaper. 
Anyway I'm not quite sure what kind of pickups should I get. I would like to get that clean surf tone but at the same time I would like to be able to handel some gain. I will probably get a Les Paul trem for the tail piece from stewmac, that way I won't have to bother drilling.
The stock pickups sound OK but to be honest I'm not crazy about them. So far I have noticed that the guitar is kinda noisy, is there an easy fix for that? maybe a ground problem?
Other than that It plays awesome! 
Thanks for your help

Why didn't you buy a normal Jag if you want the clean tone and a trem arm? You could have gotten a Japanese Jag ready for surf for $500. The Jag can handle gain in its natural set up.

That is what I've been told, Specially this one. I think it is not grounded, the hum stops as soon as I touch the strings, knobs and tailpiece. 
Is there any easy way of doing this?

Mainly because I couldn't find one at that price here where I live "DC" and didn't want to use eBay because I got screwed once.
