tattoo1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks for all the suggestions, but i think i found one that at least helped alot, static buildup on the plastic pickguard from dry air in the house, to fix this i rubbed down my pickguard and the tops of my pickups with a simple dryer sheet! now, i have pickup covers so i dont know if it will work if you dont have them? glad to hear from anyone if this works for you/ or you have another idea.

EVOL! Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If you are getting squealing, ouchy feedback; to me that sounds a lot like the pickups are microphonic. This is caused by air gaps between the pickup covers and the pickups (sorry, I do not know a more in depth explanation). Did you wax pot the pickups after you installed the covers?

Did you wax pot the pickups after you installed the covers? hey thanks ,that might be it? i did wax the inside of the cover before i put them on, but i dont think they are the correct spacing for seymour duncan pickups, i didnt think it made that much differance ?

EVOL! Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here is a good test. Take the strings off, plug the guitar in, crank your amp, and slowly place the guitar in front of the amp. Even try lightly tapping the pickups with a pick. Do you get the squeal? Then they are microphonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
