You know what, since I’m still having humming issues on my Ibanez acoustic/electric… I think starting this week, I’ll start recording songs with the guitar unplugged. I’ll just use the microphone and point that to the sound hole — it’ll pick up pretty good, then. I’ll record guitar and vocals that way… there will be no humming sounds. I would like to record plugged in but until I get the technical issues fixed, I’ll just record acoustic songs unplugged for now. I find that acoustic music sounds better unplugged, anyways.
I’m planning on bringing both of my guitars to the guitar shop soon to have them look at it. I’m sure repairs on both of these guitars should be quick and easy so it shouldn’t cost all that much. I’ve been doing a lot of research and reading on technical issues of humming sounds/ground loop stuff but it’s just a bunch of assumptions and try this/try that. I think I’m better off bringing these two guitars to a guitar tech. I don’t want to make things worse by trying to fix things myself, ya know? Maybe this week, I’ll try to send these two guitars to Parkway. They are really great repair people. Last time I brought my Ibanez acoustic/electric to fix a broken guitar jack, it only took ’em a little bit to repair.
I’ll still try to investigate things, though.
