I love your work. I'm too broke and too cheap to buy, but I sure enjoy looking.

At 9:15pm on August 29, 2009, Tony Watkins said…: Shane, I hate to put you out, so I can try to fix it. I will most definately need your help though! Tony.
P.S. Did you get your payment from paypal?

At 2:33pm on August 29, 2009, Tony Watkins said…: Shane, Yes it is present at all levels. If I touch the output jack or the tone or volume controls it cancels out, but not when I touch the strings.
Thanks, Tony
