[font=trebuchet ms]It's always good to make sure your guitar is less likely to receive noise, but it also helps to reduce the number or strength of any noise sources. Are you playing near any noise sources like a computer monitor, TV set, air conditioner, or fluorescent lights? You may be able to find the source by walking around with your axe plugged in, and turning in different directions. You may also find that using a different AC power outlet for your gear cleans it up a bit.[/font]
