Yes, but the guitar cable should be shielded, and I am prepared to bet
that it is. However, the shield connection may be broken and that is
what is causing the hum pick-up..

Yet, I've seen ads for shielded cables that are a bit more expensive
but said to reduce and/or prevent hum considerably. Ae these cables
just hype or is there a qualitative design dfiference between the usual
[cheap] guitar cables like the kind that came with this kit, and the
ones being marketed as shielded cables?
