Ok here's what I have:

1 Fender Frontman 212R

1 Fender Standard Tele (Mexican)

When I plug the guitar in and get ready to play, I'm getting a buzzing noise from the amp. The amp is brand new (bought from best buy). I really don't feel like taking it back and then finding out its my guitar so I was hoping you guys could help me out.

Buzz is still present when muting the strings.
Buzz gets worse when I switch to the drive channel
Buzz gets even worse when I hit the "more drive" function
Checked the wires in my pickups...all connected

I don't own any more electric guitars, so as far as AT HOME goes, I can't try anything else.

Any tips?

Update:

Okay so I just plugged in my acoustic guitar with a feedback buster in the soundhole...no buzz whatsoever. So does this mean its my electric?

If your pickups are single coils, it may just be normal 60 hz noise. Or a bad ground in the guitar.

I had the same buzzing noise when I had a Mexican Tele. Replaced it with a non-buzzer.
