I am fairly new to the Electric Guitar ( if you don't count when I was 10 and Sears and Robuck sent me a double pick up instead of a single pick up..But that did not last long...

I have a LP 2010 Traditional Standard . I only use a practice amp currently and noticed that my low e string sounds like it is vibrating when held down around the lower frets up to the 6th or 7th. It seems to be most notible at the 5th. However , When played on a clean channel , I can't detect anything unusual. I have been using the D Dec 3 30 for a few months and my LP a few months. But on overdriven sounds or Drive sounds, the e sounds terrible in those places. I took it to the Guitar shop and they did a set up, new strings, and unfortunately, I did not plug in to an amp there , but got it home and there was that sound again. ( my tech only has a Clean Amp in his area and that is what he goes by when testing )

If I hit the string , one note at a time, it is not really noticable, but if I hit it at the 4th , and say run up chromatically, sometimes holding say the 4th and fifth frets at the same time causes it and it makes a noise like it is vibrating against something. Even the "B" string has some of that sound when held down.

Has anyone experienced this ? Is it Possible it is my Amp at that particular frequency ? I plugged in Headset and it was still there ! So is it possible the electronics are just causing a funny noise ? Or is it definitely my Guitar ? I am going crazy trying to figure this out..

I will be taking both my Guitar and my Amp to my tech and let him hear this for himself... But in the meantime, I thought I would ask if anyone has experienced this before. I know it is hard to really know without hearing it, but thought I would give it a shot.

Thanks

Just an UPDate:
It is NOT my AMP.

I hooked up my ipad with Ampkit and ran thru headphones and the noise is very much there and very pronounced on the high e string at the 6th fret.. Interesting is when I play higher up the frets, it is completely gone... I also lowered the Pickups but that didn'thelp.. Maybe some loose connection.

I am trolling my own Message !!!!
If anyone is interested, It looks like my LP is going back to Gibson to be evaluated. The guitar store had another LP trad , and we tested it and it did the same thing, but les pronounced and not all over. So something is causing the exaggerated Overtone.
And because I was going to be without a guitar for a couple of weeks, I bought a used PRS Semi Hollow Custom SE.. Fun guitar.. Now I won't be suffering while my other guitar gets fixed
