Greetings gents!
As the title implies I recently encountered feedback problems with my EMG-equipped axe, that is a Jackson KV-3. It sports a 85 in the bridge and a 81 in the neck, both gold-capped metalworks. The neck position always had a little hiss but nothing serious.
The guitar has been played and gigged frequently for the last 5 years that it's been in my stable. At the last 2 gigs (and the in-between rehearsals) I encountered feedback of the squealing variety when playing distorted (and loud). It doesn't go away when touching the strings, only when I turn the volume pot to zero. Putting foam under the pick-up helped but only just a little.
It seemed strange that the squeal suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Are the pick-ups getting older and need to be replaced? Can I do something else apart from adding foam underneath?
Thank you![Wavey :wavey: :wavey:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wavey.gif)
