I have been experiencing a kind of bad ground buzz/noise when selecting the Piezo pickup system.:confused: If I wiggle the trem arm vigorously and aggressively I can get it to reduce or stop the noise (most of the time). I checked the control cavity for any signs of loose connections and also looked in the trem cavity for anything I could see loose.???? Any Ideas, Help, anyone else have this issue?:confused:
and Yes... its passed warranty.... of course :rolleyes:

Agree it sounds like a grounding issue, either attached to the trem, or the trem is touching a ground wire when you move it. Also check the output jack. If that's loose you can get noise.
