That's scary.

Do you get shocks from just your guitar, or only when you touch something else electric like a mic or someone holding a plugged in guitar?

If it's the latter, then check on the back of your amp for a switch that reverses the current.

A trick to check if your going to get zapped is to take your hands off the guitar and let it gently swing and touch the mike stand. If you don't get a zap and blue light that burns through a guitar string then you might be ok...

Oh yeah, wear shoes with thick rubber soles...
