Members Asylum Posted December 7, 2010 Members Share Posted December 7, 2010 Today I plugged my guitar into my tune and I noticed the tuner wasnt reading anything so i changed batteries. There was no positive change so I decided to plug my guitar straight into my practice amp.....Nothing just buzz.......I switch my cables multiple times to make sure thing i plug into my amp.....nothing just really loud buzzing it gets even louder when i touch the strings I played it live last night and it had no issues at all. Anybody dealt with this before or may know whats going on? Just for reference the guitar is a Sheraton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members etawful Posted December 7, 2010 Members Share Posted December 7, 2010 If it happens no matter what position the switch is in, my guess is that it's at the switch or the jack and most likely is a bad solder joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pigman Posted December 7, 2010 Members Share Posted December 7, 2010 Did the room the guitar was stored in get really warm or cold -- or both? This can definitely have an effect on the solder joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted December 7, 2010 Members Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'd bet it is the jack. I've never had any guitar electronics fail in the past 30 years of playing, except for the damn jacks which always fail at the worst possible time. I've replaced like ten of the bastards over the same time period, maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
