Are you referring to what is sometimes called 4th string whine? or ringing like microphonic feed back.

Are you using the same effects pedals on both guitars? If so try turning them off just to eliminate those as a possibility

Wayne, I asked the same question a while back. I described it as a "high pitch" overtone. Maybe that was incorrect verbage but it sounds similar to what you described.

A play thru a Roland 80XL and a NV 400. I noticed it primarily thru the Roland. I tried several things including adding foam at the key head between the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings as a damper. I changes EQ settings. And finally one day after changing strings I noticed much less aduible "ringing". I would have thought older strings would produce less sharp vibrations.

BTW I play thru 2 different GFI's and once owned an Emmons LG II and experienced the ringing on all three guitars. It was more noticeable in my music room (nothing more than an abandoned bedroom belonging to my married daughter) and more noticeable with the Roland.

Bottom line, it never goes completely away but not as noticeable when playing in another room and with newer strings. Not scientific just facts Whoa!

My strobe tuner causes that if left on.

When I've had those type of overtones, they were caused by a rough spot or small groove at the top of the changer finger. I tried a bunch of things without success. The only thing that worked was to carefully smooth the finger with very fine sand paper, 1000 grit, then polish with metal polish. you have to be careful to maintain the exact curve on the finger. I use a small strip of dense foam rubber, about 1/4" wide, cut a short strip of sandpaper the same width, and use the rubber as a "sanding block" over the finger. Use even pressure, it won't take very much to remove the groove. Put a dab of polish on the finger, wrap some cloth around the rubber strip, and polish the finger. Inspect the surface of the changer with a small flashlight, if it's perfectly smooth, the overtone should be gone. lately, I've got in the habit of checking the tops of the fingers when I change strings.
