Hello everyone.
I bought a used Powerhouse Strat off eBay for short dough and made the following mods:
LSR rolling nut
Gotoh Vintage Locking Tuners
Altered the +12 db boost circuit to +30 db (same as the EC mod)
Callaham bridge assembly (block, saddles, vibrato arm, screws)
DiMarzio DP188 Pro Tracks (neck/middle), DiMarzio DP182 Fast Track 2 (bridge)
Removed dummy coil
Modern string tree
Strap locks
Custom Marilyn Monroe pickguard
Elixir .010 stringsI love this guitar, but it has given me one problem when I use it live with distortion: if I bring the volume above 6, I suffer from MAJOR feedback. If I leave it on 9 or 10, it just gives me a humming "WooooooooooomMMMMM' sound. Even with the boost circuit off, it goes nuts on 7 or above.
I thought of disconnecting the boost circuit altogether since I've got mini humbuckers installed now.
Any idea how to remedy this or what might be causing me issues?
