VinnyJ Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Last nights gig the volume dropped 50% or so and sounded a bit distorted. I shook the guitar real hard and it began to work again no problem. After the gig I changed out the Cable and shook it real hard I was able to lose the sound again and then more shaking "fixed" it. Also when double clicking the selector knob I hear a slight steady intermittant sound that coincides with the flashing of the light by the tone knob. The sound goes away when playing. I think there must be some sort of short? Is there anything I can check on my own before bringing it in (again) to get fixed. Any tips would be a super big help. * I am using the xps power supply and I never have this problem with my other variax acoustic using the same power source * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sounds like a Piezo ground problem. I had that until I changed them out for Graphtech. I would every so often get a loud buzz like a bad ground. I would slap the bridge and it would go away for a while. Never happens with Graphtech.

Charlie_Watt Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not sure if they have anything that will work on the 700 Acoustic at Graphtech. I was thinking regular 700. My Variax that I upgraded is a 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
