Wait! Did you just build a damn guitar? Rock on brother, Jimmy forgives all.

Amp needs grounding is what all that noise is, I think

Bruce, that is pretty damn near exactly what it was.
I've got to get moving on the next two before I lose momentum and Amanda gets used to me loafing on my days off. She's been working extra hours lately with tax season in full swing, so I need to fill my time. Ute, That is a new amp and I set it on top of my other one. What do you mean by grounding? I thought it was the guitar humming. The shielding I did didn't work as well after the last 2 surgeries, so I assumed I missed some section inside.

Also, I don't know what P.E. was supposed to be. I meant Performance Anxiety. That would be P. A. . P.E. is premature ejaculation. I didn't have that.
:shrug: I'll try again another day and give you more of what the guitar sounds like with different settings on the amp..... maybe.

Does the amp hum when you don't have anything plugged into the input?

I don't think so. and the hum subsides when I turn and face a certain way. It gets worse when I'm near the chandelier in the dining room, too. I'm pretty sure I've got an antenna inside that's un-shielded.
The first night I played it, it hardly hummed, but since then, I've been all up inside it twice. I'll go back in one day and see if i can improve the faraday cage. Pete was telling me that if you have a circle in your ground wires, you'll get a lot of hum. I kind of just squooshed wires in there last time, so maybe something is contacting something..... I've been kicking around getting a couple quick connect clips to go into a central ground that would make yanking the pick guard an easy thing. They way they're designed, you have to disconnect the ground to the claw in the back, and the 2 wires leading to the jack in order to fully remove the pick guard. Seems like that should have been improved.

I may have inadvertently created a ground loop with the shielding. I might go back in there and re-wire the whole thing more cleanly. I need more practice soldering anyway....

I suspect he only buttfucks it in the mouth....
And back the the OT.... I'm Very Impressed, LJ. To the point of envy. I can't even keep on track with a ceramic project that takes more than a week or two. And it fucking works! Nice one.

Thanks monster! I almost said it was the longest project I've done, but then the Harley took this long, and so did that deck I built. I guess I need some kind of mental simulation when work gets monotonous. I'm studying up on the electronics inside guitars lately. I don't know enough about it.
