it's probably your pickups acting as a receiver, has this happened before?

it could also be a grounding problem

Well I'm not sure if it's the TV, or radio. But it sounded pretty much like the TV just before and it was EXTREMELY clear. Usually on my acoustic amp is really muffled voices, as if people are talking over the phone but it's not transmitting properly. But it could be something to do with the grounding maybe? Or could my antenna on my tv be transmitting signals to the amp. I have no idea. Considering my TV wasn't even on at the time.

Thanx Kev. I usually google stuff actually haha for whatever reason I posted it on the board. Probably cos I was already here. I'm guessing it's probably the guitar pickups. Makes the most sense.
