I have that problem with my classical, and this one particular L5 (a hollow body jazz guitar with f holes) that I use to play, you play one paticular note and always on the same string, and the amplification went wild in the body of the guitar, the tone would continue seemingly until the thing went louder and louder, but that's due to the body of the guitar and the problems with the overtones that the instrument produced. The same tone would sustain out of control and you either had to dampen the string or turn down the amp or get away from the amp, way away. Classical guitars are likewise, the body of the guitar generates the vibrations that can actually make the guitar modulate the strings, and some various dampening techniques are in order. You can use your thum, fingers, the heel of your hand, your wrist, or even the fingers of the fret hands. It takes discipline but controlling ring and buzz, or even the duration of a note or notes is a vital part of technique. Other wise all guitars and strings are different, and you've just got to get to know them. Gary
