2106.0. "Guitar Buzz Help" by ROULET::KLO () Wed Feb 13 1991 03:45

    I had a BC RICH electric guitar keeps have buss,
    when I play through distortion. it sounds nicer
    without distortion. can anyone help me,or where
    should I take the guitar to make adjustment.
    I already took it to MR C's music I told them
    to put a new humbuck and fix the bussing sound for
    me but still don't sound right.The old guitar techn
    over MR C's music he not work there nomore that's
    what they told me.

    	Kham, have you tried a different guitar through your amp to make 
    	sure that the amp is not the problem?  What kind of amp is it?
    	Some buzz is normal on overdrive settings.

2106.3RAVEN1::BLAIRand that ain't too cool..Thu Feb 14 1991 09:1313
    
    	Kham, you might try looking at some of the notes/replies which
    	discuss methods of noise elimination.  Could be a poor ground 
    	somewhere, or a number of other things.  Maybe you could compare 
    	your guitar to another Kramer(?) same model at the guitar store
    	and see if it behaves differently.  Bring your amp along to to 
    	keep the experiment valid.  Talk to the repair technician.  It 
    	could be something he has seen before.  Maybe some of the 
    	resident experts could help here - they seem peculiarly quiet...
    
    	good luck.

    I gotta agreee with Pat.  It's got a bad ground.
    Does the guitar in question have single coil pickups ?
    They're notorious...

    	Yep, I agree with coop, and I gotta say, one more time.. that the
    dbii rfi mod is worth every penny of the 3.95 it costs and every little
    cut one gets on their fingers...  actually, in the right frame of mind,
    I kind of enjoy those little cuts all over my hands.. my wife and kids
    think I'm sick [;^)

    I found out about the problem that keeps buzz the guy that
    put the humbucker on the guitar he wired it wrong so I told it
    to worcester and the guy over there rewired it and sound like a killer.
    
                                           thanks for all of you,
                                           Kham
