Question
Hey   i just baught a vintage kramer striker 300 ST with a liscenced shaller floyd rose bridge off eBay  it is in great condition    but  there is this annoying buzzing and really skreatchy feedback whenever i plug into my amp   the tone of the buzzing changes if you move around

it could be my amp but i think it is the guitar

what do u think???

Answer
Hello Adrian. It sounds to me like your having a ground issue. Check that your ground wires are all in place especially the one that goes to your bridge. Use a multimeter and test all your grounds for continuity. Short of that I'd need to look at it hands on. Hope this helps.
