So a month or so ago I got a viper 417 and recently when I plug it in it is buzzing a lot. when I tilt the guitar forward its stops and when I hold it regularly it goes back to buzzing. Is it my pickups(emgs)? It's bugging me this has prolly been brought up before but I couldn't find it. Thanks

Sounds like a loose ground joint. Basically you have to resolder your ground connections. Not difficult to do if you have a modicum of soldering experience.

Sweet I was hoping it was something easy like that. I got some experience soldering. It's just weird cause it just stared doing that this week.

Is it buzzing when you're not touching it then quits when you touch the strings/bridge?? Also with you leaning that also makes me think it could be interference with your pickups..I know if I play my EMG loaded guitar at home it makes noise if I face certain lights or the computer monitor when tracking.
