My guitar gives ME appluase!?!?!?!?
Like most guitars my guitar makes noises but recently it makes a noise at regular intervals. Like 2 times a second. It almost sounds like someone clapping slowly. It's not exactly a hum or a buzz but a sharp noise like clapping. What can I do?

Are you sure the sound comes from your guitar? :confused:
I'd be more inclined to suspect something in your amplifier is arcing, especially if its a tube amp. Get it checked out.

Could it be pickguard static?, some people produce static electricity in dragging their fingers on the guard while they play (Fender type). It's fairly easy to eliminate this question and reground the guard.

I know it's the guitar because I tried it with other guitars. The amp is not a tube amp or a transister amp with built in effects. But the pickguard static maybe true except it would happen at exact intervals whether or not I'm touching the guitar.

Have you tried your guitar with other amps? Does this happen every place you play or only at home, only in a certain room, your guitar has to be picking this noise up from something...........

my gut feeling says its the tremelo effect thingy found on Tube amps, but since you don't have a tube amp, i dont know what to say...

The guitar does not appulaud anymore. Don't know why. I didn't do anything but I am thankful. Thank You for your sugesstions. If I ever actually figure it out I'll let you guys know.

Have you ever noticed if any household appliances are running when this is happening? Have you had your guitar or amp to a shop for a check-up and has this ever happened outside of your home?

Could be those messages that the aliens are beaming to your friend, shielding won't stop that...........

Assuming the aliens are already my friends and they have my number, any ideas?

Line all of your rooms with aluminum foil. :)
Or take [u]both[/u] your guitar and your amp to a tech. I really want to know what this turns out to be.

I think maybe your guitar is picking up alien communications which are plans to invade Earth. Like that one movie "Signs." Did anyone else see that, where they were picking the signal up on the baby monitor. Man that's a creepy movie. It's better seeing it the second time, though. And now I'm getting on another subject, so I'll stop talking.
Rock and roll ain't noise pollution, but it can get pretty crappy these days.
