He hears a bit of hum, and it changes when he touches the strings.
But there's no sound from the pickups.

Does anything change when you try the various switch positions?
Does teh volume or tone control make any difference to the sound of the hum?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349721 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349466 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:36:06 +0000 a wire could be broken. open the guitar and look at all the wires. trace their paths. and solder to the correct points if a wire is loose.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349466 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349415 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:56:23 +0000

It has higher fidelity than the mic input on a computer, and was fairly inexpensive. I don't know if this particular model is still available, but if not, something comparable or a newer model must be.

But if you are just using it to hear your guitar then yea buy one of those headphone amps.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349238 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349214 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:10:15 +0000
I highly recommend getting a headphone amp. That can go between the guitar and the computer and will give you the increased amplification... I *have* done that.

Also, you can practice using headphones without the computer.

I have a Vox Amplug AC30... it is about $30-40.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance lue42 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349214 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349206 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:41:26 +0000 tech guys, help me out here.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-349206 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/i-have-undescribable-problems-with-my-guitar/#post-38666 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:58:00 +0000 sorry if i post on a wrong section... i can be described as a newbie with all this...

ok... here what it is...
im using just Cheap beginners electric guitar... which is don't have any Amps... so, i convert it to my pc using 1/4 to 1/8 jack converter, then i played it through GuitarRig in FL studio...

i've been played for about 3, maybe 4 month until now... the "Undescribed" problems is.. when i plugged my Guitar to my pc... then i strum it... it doesn't make any sound... but theres Hum when i touch the Strings... and when i pick a string, no sound produced and the hum actually gone when i released my palm from the strings... after that... i checked the Output Jack as i told to on the net... those two wire were...... uhm... well.. cutted i assume(Sorry for my bad english....T_T).....

Well, The Question is... Where is the problem came from? is it from the Jack? or the Chord? nor the coils?

My Guitar information:
Cheap as hell which is TGM(Stratocaster copy) model...
3x Single coils...
well... i bought it from a friend...

Thanks for taking your time to answer my horrible Questions...
