I have a Gibson Les Paul Special vintage 1980 or 2000. It has Seymore Duncan pups that were in it when I bought it (unk model). It is well worn. I have been playing it through different amps, i.e. a Blackstar Fly 3, a Peavey Vypyr 3 or a small 15 watt Fender. I recently raised the pups to get a little more sustain as they were very low.
I just got a new Spark amp and now I am getting a lot of buzz when using that amp. I lowered the pups considerably but still buzz. If I touch the high e string, or even an adjustment screw, the buzz goes away or is substantially reduced. I plugged a couple other guitars into the Spark and they don't buzz. One is a cheap Fender that the pups are pretty low. The other is a 'boutique' strat that I set the pups the same as the Gibson.
I'm wondering if I might have a loose connection in the Gibson or where to turn from here. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Robb
