Fender Strat Experts: How Do I Get Rid of the Hissing Sound?

[pugak_79]

There's a hissing sound when i don't touch the strings or the bridge but it's gone when i touch them or when i play the guitar. Nganu man ni? Unya mu kusog ang hiss kung isaka ang volume.

I also tried my ibanez(CH1,CH2 Humbuckers) plugged on the same amp(Marshall MG30DFX) but silent ra man

[noigwen]

mag hum man jud guro na ang single coil.. pareha sa ako gitara (bridge kay humbucker nya, single, single).. inig pasaka nako sa toggle switch para neck pup kay mo hum jud..

check the circuit of your guitar if it's properly grounded. you can check the fender's website or pickups website such as DiMarzio.com, seymor duncan, etc for the circuit. you can also try to add a 220pF capacitor across the guitar's output. by the way, humbuckers are hum cancelling pickups so it's less noisy than single coils.

Bago rajud ni naku gi sprayhan ug wd40 ang pots niya kay gahi na jud lisuon ang volume pot. Pero i think naa najud ni cya hissing sound way before pajud ni naku gi sprayhan. Asa man inyuha bai? Ako nya ni ipatanaw nimu if persistent jud cya. Ingon man ang electrician nga nag spray ani nga obserbahan sa daw kay basin tungod kay basin wala pa ni dry up ang wd40 sa sulod. Naa ka anang capacitor nga imu gi ingon if necessary?

ilisi na og humbuckers bro...check the circuitry...better bring it to a guitar smith...

[seven_segment]

basta edad-edaran na ang guitara...

most of the electronics/electricals...mu-oxidized jud ang mga sulda...

i think natural ra na...clean the electronic devices, such as replacing, re-soldering...

bai paul, karaan na na imo strat?

[mokyo]

check ur wiring bro...grounded rana.

wd40 is a lubricant. i think you need a contact cleaner for dirty, scratchy pots, not a lubricant.

mao man gi gamit sa electrician ang wd40. Ok raman kuno. Pero murag naa naman ni hiss daan bisan wala pa ni gi sprayhan ug wd40

[noigwen]

naa man jud baligya nga potentiometer cleaner.. murag 300+ ang price.. pang potentiometer jud cya..
nya bacn magpailis na ug hotrail nga pup paul.. aron mawala ang hum bsan ug neck pup imu gamiton.. mura na nah cya ug single coil but humbacker jud na cya f wla ko masaup.. hehehe

Mao lagi unsaon awahi na. Na sprayhan naman naku ug wd40 Noi. Gi apil pajud naku ang mga tone pots haha. I'm so retarded. Available raman kaha dri ang 250k potentiometer in kaso lang kung ilsanan na jud siya? Ang pangutana, mao ba jud ang main cause anang saba? naa jud ni ang saba wala pa naku gi sprayhan ug wd40 pero wala sad ni hum sauna nga gi ingon nimu from single coil pups

hoy, dili man na contact cleaner ang WD40. luoya sa imo guitara gud. imo man gimal-mal ug samot.
naay baligya nga contact cleaner.

kanang hum sa imo guitara, daghan hinungdan ana.

try kuno ni.

1. check all the ground connections. use tester. visual inspection.
2. use a professional audio cable. kanang mahalon.
3. buy my mura'g godlyke nga power supply.

mao lagi brad. dakoa na naku ug sala ani oi. Gi plug ra ni naku dretso sa amp w/out any effects. Unsaon man nga mao mansad ang gi pangita sa electrician - wd40 man jud & he even had one sa iya bag apparently one of his repair tools. I suspect dli ni mao ang cause sad.

sounds like na grounded imong guitar. check lang with a guitar expert. na samotan pa dyud na for sure sa WD40. dili ra man na ang circuitry sa pickup. also check the wiring sa tone and volumes as well as sa output wiring.

usahay masulod dyud ang moisture sa circuitry, specially if outdoors ang gig or practice and naguwan. if you use the guitar outdoors during a rainy day then make it a habit to spray contact cleaner afterwards.
