                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Has it always done this?  Did it make noise when you touched the strings before you changed them?  If so it may not have a string ground - a wire that connects the bridge to the ground (and because the strings touch the bridge ground them too).  If it just started happening then as dogbite says you likely have a loose wire.  It may have come loose at either end - the bridge end or in the control cavity.<br><br>You say that just started playing - did you buy this guitar recently?  If it's really recent (~30 days) the store you bought it from should take a look at it.  If it's longer than that then Peavey has a 2 year warranty on those guitars so they should fix it since this sounds like a manufacturing quality defect.  The wire shouldn't have come disconnected in normal use.  If you dropped it and then it became disconnected that's a different story.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am starting to learn the guitar.  I have a Peavey Predator and I just put on new tunning pegs and strings.  However, when I plug it in to the amp and I touch any of the strings, it gives off heavy static noise through the amp.  If I don't touch the strings, it doesn't make any static noise.  Also, if I run the pick over the strings without my skin touching the strings, it plays just fine.  The problem is when my skin touches the strings that causes this heavy static noise.<br><br>Please help!!<br><br>Thanks,]]></content:encoded>
