Grounded Guitar Amps???

Needless to say my strings are 'zapping' me.

Explanation required for the term 'zapping'. Are you getting an electric shock/tingle. 

If an electric shock then how are the strings in conductive contact with any metallic parts of the amplifier and electricity supply?

All guitars I have come across are wood/plastic and the strings are most definitely not touching any amplifier connected bits.

Or are you saying the strings are registering their dissatisfaction at being asked to play so many bum notes.

  • People pay a lot of $$$ for TENS machines which stimulate the body via mild electric shocks, you're getting it for free!   Anyway.   Many of the lower-cost amps have low-cost cheap

  • If you decide to get a new amplifier I can thoroughly recommend the NUX mighty Lite.   Fantastic little practice amp with a big loud sound.  Includes a drum machine and pre recorded practice

  • Depending on where you live a 3 pin cable on the Amp might not help. While investigating speaker hums I discovered the earth or ground pin in the 3 pin sockets in my condo studio/office/spare bedroom

The metal bridge can have a connection to the pick ups, jack or pots, (earth)

this is to reduce hum noise.

maybe someone can give a better explanation.
