Guitar is microphonic?

[Bob Savage]

Changed the battery. Didn't fix it.

Did find out that it's the ground. It must have come unattached to whatever it was attached to because when I touch it to certain surfaces inside the control cavity, it stops the buzzing. Will be getting some solder and fixing 'er. Thanks guys!

Missed this... Glad to hear its something simple.

If it was grounding, wouldn't touching the strings and the bridge do the same as when I touch the input jack?

Not if the bridge ground is disconnected/broken. Your pickups are not microphonic if the noise goes away by touching a piece of metal.

That's exactly what I'm thinking based upon his comment that touching the input jack quiets it but touching the bridge/strings doesn't.

This is what I was thinking, but glad it is figured out! I guess it must have loosened up in shipping. Really sorry about all of the trouble Earle.

No trouble at all sir. Still a lovely, lovely instrument

It really is one of the sweetest Carvins I have played!
