bowser Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 My brother's jackson has been making an odd noise, it makes a very high pitched buzzing sound, but only when he's not touching a string - if he puts his hand on anything connected with the strings (like the tuners) then its quieter again. Makes me think that the bridge isn't grounded properly, but I'm not sure. Could you guys help me out with this?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Sounds like a ground wire situation to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
