(when i touch it) normally it works fine & i do play d guitar a lot. but i dont know y all this happens. please help me out. :help: its a star(german make) guitar
LOL I experienced the same thing with one of my friend's Samick Guitar. But that happ coz I was playing it after bathing. So I assumed that it was not earthed properly and the current was flowing thru my wet slippers instead. But your case is even worse. B.t.w My Givson has never given me such a prob.
Try it at a different power point and check for the shock. If there is none, contact your electrician. If there is a shock again, go to wherever you bought the guitar from and demand compensation.
Its Surely Is Earthin Prob ./.,.,.,.,.,. Coz U Say It Shokz Wen U R Wet ,.,so Most Probably Its Dur To Earthin ,., Next Time Chk It Weather U R Wearin Shoes Or Chapal Or Not If No Then Go N Provide A Good Eartihn ,..,coz Its Harmful For Ur Pc Too N Micrwave N Fridge Ac Tooo
@ chirag It's 'SHOCKING' that u've been electrocuted so many times. Try checking whether ur guitar pickup's body and the bridge are grounded. Check whether ur electric switch board is well-grounded too. Regards Luthier PS: do u hear "WHAT WOMEN WANT"...... :-0
^^^ LMAO nice one but Luthier, should that happen with a branded guitar? shouldnt they be sued for this?
the problem is simple check the earthing of your pc to guitar connector . Use a pin convertor rather than cutting a company connector wire and retrofixing it with a smaller pin head. anyways if still manage to get a huge shock.......take two asprin n'd call me in morning(he he)
bout that marshall problem please rephrase it with amp spec. and connector spec. so that i can ponder.
