Need help with noise on guitar track

Whenever I record the guitar, I get this super high pitch hissing noise that I can get rid of with a noise gate fx when the guitar isn't being played (very beginning of the clip) But as soon as he starts playing, the noise gate isn't effective any longer. You have to turn the volume up louder to hear it clearly.

How to determine cause of guitar hum?

We've been trying to solve a hum problem. We know it's not the guitar (archtop with set in humbucker) because the hum only occurs in one particular place in the room. If we move the guitar even a couple feet away, the hum stops. Discovered that the hum is negligible when using a wood bridge and wood tailpiece. Worse with metal bridge and metal tailpiece.

Guitar Center haggling w/ customers over prices still?

Way back in the day (late 80's) I used to shop at Guitar Center in San Jose and I used to haggle and butt heads with some real douche bags at that store. Back then if you didn't do your price research, you got taken advantage of. It was like negotiating at a car dealership.
