I actually ran a wire to the pickguard (it's in one of the pictures. Honestly every guitar with just normal singles go nuts in these rooms.
60 cycle hum and the single pickup.

I know you don't want a noise gate but you should check out this guy.

It's a multi-band noise gate, so you could set it up to cut whichever frequencies you want to cut but leave the rest alone.

Something like that might be useful to keep in my bag, I haven't really been a fan of the TC pedals I've owned to this point but....

Yeah, some places just have shit for wiring and there really isn't anything you can do about it. You're just gonna need something w/humbuckers and that's the way it goes.
I also love the rooms where they have one double outlet on the stage on the far side... and that's it.

I bought the EHX one, and it's been pretty good at home. There's a used one on Reverb for $35.
The "Hum Debugger"?

The EHX Silencer. It's a noise gate.
:hmm:
The TC one that @GilmourD mentioned is intriguing to me. I wonder what it would be like if I just threw it in front of my pedalboard when I used the tele (or my Tokai).

I looked at the TC one too. The EHX won out solely because of price. It's been good.
I should go annoy people at guitar center this week.
Here's a cheap low tech solution that purports to make every single coil guitar silent. I'm gonna give it a whirl myself.

Hope this helps.

I'd rather make a wristband with a safety release than have a piece of thin wire wrapped around my finger that could potentially cut my finger off if something knocks the guitar out of my hands.

Gonna walk my dog, you?
Near the end of this video the dude solders a wire from the metal pickup cover to the copper shielding of the pickguard. I've never done a tele before so that's new for me.

This would've been the short version of my post: in my case, it wasn't the amp, it was the location in my apartment that caused the hum.
Sounds like your situation is the same?
The alligator clip should slip off the bridge before the wire cuts in to your finger, but yeah, I still don't like the idea of a wire wrapped any appendage. Ring avulsion, anyone?
