I would suspect the original MIJ pickups. I've heard these are pretty
microphonic. Also, they are both identical (one isn't reverse wound, reverse
polarity compared to the other) so they don't hum cancel when they are both
on together. If you can, try a different guitar at those same settings. I
love the sound of the MIA Jag pickups, you can buy a set from places like
Smart Parts. Seymour Duncan also makes some Jag replacement pickups too.
Good luck.
