I have a small bedroom studio which mostly consists of keyboards and
computers. Once in a while I plug in my electric guitar. I ammoving
to a new rental house which does not have grounded power
unfortunately. I really want to avoid spending too much money to try
to get grounded power in there. Do you gurus have any other
suggestions about it? Will the sound suffer? Will I electricute
myself when I play the guitar? Are there any alternatives to wiring
up ground? I guess I can have an electrician come out and run a
ground wire up from the crawl space..providing he can find something
to ground to. Would probably cost me up to $500 to do that
though..which is enough to buy a cool music toy...so... not
insignificant..

Suggestions?

All electric wiring that I know of has a ground wire.

You may have 2 prong outlets however.

You may be able to simply have the outlets changed to 3 prong

and even if you don't you probably won't have any problems.

no ground loops anyway :-)
