Members unit11 Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 I just got a Kramer Focus 1000 with an SD Custom-Custuom installed in it. When ever I play the guitar, it has a strange oscillating ringing sound going on behind the notes. If I stop playing anything, the sound is still there. If I turn the volume off, the sound dissappears. If I switch amps, the sound is still there. No other guitar makes this noise through any of the tested amps. What is wrong with my guitar? Is it the pickup? Is the pup damaged and need replacing, or does it just need to be rewired? Is it something else in the electronics of the guitar? It has had a push-pull coil tap pot installed for the volume, could there be an issue with the wiring there? I bought the guitar with these upgrades in it, so I had nothing to do with the electronics. Is it something I can fix/replace my self? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir Don Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 Does the guitar have a Floyd Rose or similar? If so it might be the springs in the cavity ringing on. My guitars do that so I packed the cavity with cotton wool. Problem solved. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matter-Eater Lad Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 trem springs or even the strings ringing behind the nut if you listen closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheDarxide Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 +1000000 on the trem springs. The ones in my BC Rich beast resonate to a C note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
