Does anyone around the LYN forums know of a luthier who might be familiar with this kind of work as mentioned above in regard to the title?

If the pickups are made properly and free from microphonic, there's no need to wax pot. Apparently pickups would sound more 'raw' without potting. To answer your question, a full wax pot is a tedious process but perhaps you could give the fella from GIM a call?

I heard that wax potting might be able to reduce the buzzing noise from single coil pickups so I was just curious about it. They do have it at GIM?

i don't think so. Hum results from the influence of a second magnetic field from a second PU. That's how the humbucker design came about. In layman terms ( i can't understand the technical explanations anyway) the humbucker has 2 coils in opposite direction causing equal and exact opposite magnetic fields in each coil thus cancelling out the interference and therefore no hum. That's why the fender J hums when the PUs are set at different levels and the hum disappears when the volume of the PUs are exactly the same (J-Bass has counter wound PUs as far as i remember). Or for a strat, same thing.

I don't know what waxing does, but i don't think it will reduce the buzzing noise by a noticable amount. If anything, it may give a cleaner sound, reducing hissing maybe because every wind is isolated through the wax. Unless you were referring to hissing when you said buzz?

Layman terms...

Wax-potting is meant to prevent microphonic feedback. As for reducing singlecoil hum... I doubt so.

correct whut. Layman terms. I once read an article about hum cancelling. Didn't understand one word. All the sinus curve and inductance and current and field strength blablabla...

You slowly go study la

get a Boss NS-2 this will remove all hums
