I picked up an ESP STEF B7 about a month ago, but I didn't really mess with it much at first. I no longer practice with an amp or anything at home, so it took a few weeks for me to decide to bring it to practice instead of my JPX-7. This is my first experience with an alder body, and it has been years since I played anything with EMGs.
I seem to be getting a lot of background noise from the guitar. My Axe-FX II is dead silent and clear when I use my XPT750 or JPX-7 with it, but I hear a ton of extra sound with the ESP. If I mute the strings with my left hand and flip the pickup switch, it rings out quite a bit. Similarly, any movement while I'm playing seems to resonate and get mixed in with my notes. How anyone else experienced an issue like this? I'm not crazy about the guitar, so I'm probably going to get rid of it soon, but I'd like to know what is the X factor to make sure I don't end up with the same issue down the road.
