DoubleNecker Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Ok, some of you know that I got a new guitar and amp yesterday. Much to my surprise, my amp didn't come with a guitar to amp cord. So I grabbed my dad's old cord that came with the Epiphone Les Paul Jr. (we traded it in and I got a hard case for it!) and I played it and for some reason (has happened before) while I was playing, I kept getting shocked. Usually with the upper G string on down. I'm thinking it's the cord, because it was a cheap one. My dad says otherwise. So tell me, what's the deal?

Are you using a ground lift adapter on your amps power cord? (better known as a three prong adapter) if not, try using one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGG Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I don't think I have one of those.... Get thee to the store son! Those are available at virtually any grocery store in their hardware section. Set you back about 59 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
