Thanks everyone! Kicking myself in the butt for not getting a Strat sooner. So far I Like the sound of it way better than a tele.

Love that color combo on a Strat. You really can't beat the ergonomics of the Stratocaster, either. Whether you're sitting down or standing with it strapped on, it just feels good. No sharp edges or corners digging in to you and the controls are so conveniently placed it is very intuitive to change settings on the fly. Leo got a lot right with that design.

Walked into my local music shop today with no intention of buying anything & walked out with Les Paul Junior 2015 100th anniversary. P90 pick up is not a Gibson & swapped out with a Dimarzio & this one beautiful sounding axe Was a bit apprehensive about having only the single pick-up & you get such great tones

Very cool! Love the ASSMAN license plate, too. Haha!

Guys I m getting buzzing thru the amp when I plug in. When I press on the strings it goes away. Any ideas?

That's a strat for you! Do you have a noise suppressor pedal? Maybe turn volume down on guitar but up on amp too.

It happens with all three of my electrics.

You're grounding the issue when you touch the strings. Maybe it's a bad plug. What's your power supply?

8 way daisy chain plugged into the wall.

Are you running a compressor pedal? Did this just start recently?

mcgruff10 · March 25

No compressor pedal. It's been happening for some time.

It's probably the daisy chain tbh. I would either change power source and/or work with a noise suppressor.

mcgruff10 · March 25

Change the power source to what?

A power supply that isolates each pedal. They're expensive though.

Does it do this when you go direct or only when using pedals? I remember having this problem a while ago, can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I removed one of my overdrive pedals from the board, and it seemed to eliminate the buzz.

Also do you have the 1991 pedal? Mine is very noisy.

If I were you, I would start with a power strip with circuit protection and surge suppression and plug your amp and effects pedals into it.

Guitar Center sells relatively inexpensive LiveWire power strips and they work well. One of those eliminated a lot of noise from my guitar rig.

Also, check your house wiring to make sure the outlet you're using is properly grounded and doesn't have reversed polarity. I have seen that even in newly built homes.

I personally haven't noticed my 1991 pedal being noisy, but I honestly don't use it that much. It is on the board, but I prefer my Crayon pedal for a bit of overdrive.
