Hey, I've been playing for about 3 months and just got my second guitar, an S2 Thinline. I LOVE the way it feels to play and I can play faster and cleaner than I could on my SE custom 24. But... this guitar picks up a lot more RF interference from the electronics in my room than the SE did. Why is that? What can I do about it? My friend's response was, "Get a guitar that doesn't buzz," but... I really like this guitar, dammit lol.
I can get less buzzy sounds by turning the gain down on my amp or turning down the volume pots on the guitar and turning the amp output volume up, but as soon as I try to get a little crunch, there's an ever-present hum that's driving me nuts. An interesting thing I've noticed is that when I pull out the coil tap, it doesn't add or change the buzzing sound AT ALL, unlike the SE guitar where some buzz would start when the tone knob was pulled out.
