indeed. Pickups generate millivolts.
some microphones require 48V DC 'phantom power' but this is to the condensor capsule and/or valve preamp (studio style vocal mics) but that is kept well away from the bits you touch.

There used to be an urban myth that if you dropped an old-style GPO telephone reciever into a bucket of water during a phone call it would give the person on the other end an electric shock but that also seems to be BS to me.
