guitar problems

[Ezequiel Romanko]

i guys i’ve noticed something strange when i play my guitar pluged in into my pc with an amp simulator, i feel like it’s electrified and gives me smalls shocks while playing it, any advise on that? what could be?

Anything like that is going to be a grounding issue. Has anyone ever messed with the wiring inside the guitar?

That is really odd and quite interesting..I don’t necessarily have a solution but had to comment lol I was a guitar tech with a national touring band for 10 years but I have never heard of this…I’ve seen guys get dropped when they go to sing and the mic shocks them..quite scary..but never this. honestly I wouldn’t think that it’s your guitar..I actually don’t think it’s possible for a guitar to do that? but I wouldn’t rule it out completely..if there’s a bad ground somewhere in there it COULD happen.. But most likely it’s whatever your plugged into doing it. Does you’re guitar buzz when you’re not touching anything metal on it?? If you have an amp, do you feel a shock when playing through it? Have you tried plugging your computer into a different outlet in your house? If you’re using a surge protector to plug in your computer, does it have the ground on the plug?

Surely you will deliver some electrifying performances, literally.

this is the first time this happens to me haha but i changed the plugs from in to out and out to in and it stopped doing that so i don’t know what was that, played in my amp and never experimented something like it so it’s strange haha
