Members _pete_ Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 The pickups are proabably too close to the strings. It's called Strat-itis. SC pups have a strong and tightly focused magnetic field and can make the string vibrate like that. Lower your pups and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Armitage Posted May 2, 2005 Members Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yeah, on Strat pickups the pole pieces are the actual magnets, and if they're too close the affect the string as it vibrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
