Hi everyone,
I'm new to electric instruments and after splurging big time on a Risa ST style ukulele from Thomann shipped to Canada (only way I could get it) I'm having some issues that have me worried.
The first is that there seems to be a grounding issue - there is some buzzing that goes away when I touch the strings or other metal parts. I've tried plugging my Yamaha THR5 in other outlets, same result. I don't know if it's an issue with the guitar or the whole apartment grounding? Can't try it elsewhere because confinement :/
Most important though, the strings don't line up at all with the screws on the humbucker bridge pickup. What am I supposed to do with that??
Other thing I'm not happy about is that the tone knob maxes out around 1/4 of the way, if that.
Urgh.
Apologies for photo orientations, keeps defaulting to it. Also uploaded them to imgur https://imgur.com/a/im3Jir2
