All my guitars Gibson, Fender, Kramer have some noise through high gain.
I just turn a certain angle or distance from my amp to reduce it.
I don't hear it when I play only when I stop.

Hmmmm... sounds like your buckers on the 50's strat may be microphonic... what type of pups you got in that one?
If they're lower end pups... there's a good chance they're not pottted... which will make them microphonic.... which will create a howling, booming, screetching mess at high gain volumes.


Nah, I don't think that is the case. Stock single coils and SH-5 humbucker. Tech went through the guitar. Everything is grounded and seems to be in order. We will try and change the volume pot which seems a bit faulty.

Other than that it's just the way some guitars are according to my tech. Some have more noise and some less but there will always be noise when playing with high gain. He told me we could try to shield it better but that just seems like too much trouble.

I've heard people complain even $2000 custom Gibsons having noise problems.

With high gain... noise is just part of the equation. Yeah... even super pricey guitars aren't immune to it.
Sounds like you've got a grip on it.
