When I play a note on the G string of my Standard strat, without doing any vibrato, starting at 10 fret, the notes make a sound like it is osscillate, like if I'd do a vibrato but if I bend it it stops. I tought it could be a high pickup but even if they are drop very low, it still the same. Any Idea?
 
Probably one of the springs for your trem that resonates. Take of the back cover, play the G-string and touch the springs, if it stops, that's your culprit.
 
Could be a component in the amp's circuit, as well, that generates this nasty overtone in response to a certain frequency, usually a coupling capacitor. That's worse case scenario because it's a nightmare to track down. It could also just be a preamp tube that's reacting that way.
 
Also, get the oscillation to happen, then dampen the string behind the nut. If that kills the oscillation you may just need a string tree.
 
Great a few things to try, thanks guys and if there is others idea go shoot it!
