I'd either take my amp and/or guitar to a local store, and then try your guitar through one of their amps, or try your amp with one of their guitars. This hopefully would help you figure out which of the 2 has issues. Of course ask them if this is cool before you show up with your guitar and/or amp, but I would think they'd be willing to do it cause they should see you as a potential customer for a guitar, amp, and/or repairs...

You need to figure out if its the guitar or amp. You may be able to fix it yourself if its the guitar, but if its the amp, unless you are familiar with electronics and electrical repairs, I would let an expert take care of that because some lethal voltages can be stored up in amps, even if its only a 5 watt amp for example...


If it's the electronics in the guitar, what is most likely wrong with it?


Maybe the pickups, however, if it were the pickups, I would think it would happen on all the strings, instead of just one string around a particular fret, so I am almost running out of ideas of what it could be, but yet you say it doesn't happen when unplugged. But then if it was the amp, I would alsp think it would happen all the time instead of on just one string around a certain fret. I think if the local store does set-ups and guitar maintenance you may need to get them to do one on your guitar, and maybe see if they can check the wiring. I would just bring it in though, because there is only so much I can do over the net, and I think your best option would be to let someone local hear what its doing and then go from there. That being said, I would definitely try your guitar through other amps to totally eliminate if its your amp, because if it still does the same thing through different amps, then the problem is somewhere on the guitar, but if your guitar sounds fine through the amp, then its your amp...


I will be sure to try with other amps. And I will also try to call the local music store and talk with a repair man and see if they know anything.
Thanks!
