   | Have you checked the jack? A loose / failing jack connection can produce what you're describing. Incoming Pimptastic Purple KxK Singlecut of Doom  Orange 2x12 - Damn am I colorful  |

| Sounds like a grounding issue. THe following will help: 1) Make sure the guitar is grounded, ie, there is normally a ground wire that goes to a screw into the wood of the guitar somewhere (as a common ground point) 2) Get the cavity painted with shield paint, and see if the cavity covers have shielding on them as well 3) There should be a ground wire running to the bridge. On a floyd it'll be a wire soldered to the spring claw, on fixed bridge it should run to the bridge somehow. Also, don't put a capcitor inline, all it is going to do is act like a filter for your guitar. It'll remove any DC component from the signal, but at the same time it will act as a low pass filter, so it will probably not be what you want to happen. |
