    AHHH! stupid G-String!

    Ok, when I pick the G-string it now not only buzzes on my stupid un-even frets, but it makes this 'plop' sound like you threw a stone into a pond. Sometimes it will also rattle the bridge. I've tried loosening and tightning the screw on the bridge and it still does it, any help?

    Electric problems

    When I'm playing, and I switch to Treble, sometimes I won't get any sound other than the acoustic non amplified sound (ie i get no sound) It could be a bad connection from the cord to amp, but I don't exactally think that's it. Any suggestions?
