do this jason, before you plug the chord into your guitar, take it through the strap so it can beheld up then put it in...it helps on my old acoustic/electric, i get an often and irritating buzz noise when i dont do it...if you need to then bring it to school and ill show you what i am talking about...peace man

Hmmm, you should probably leave the guitar as is with the grounding problem, then go out and break your hands. Then play Eruption with broken hands and your problematic guitar. :wink:
