If you keep that up, you'll end up as a superhero, with the ability to shoot electricity from your fingers.
Probably.
BTW, shouldn't the guitar be OK, as it's only the amp with mains voltage?

indeed. Pickups generate millivolts.some microphones require 48V DC 'phantom power' but this is to the condensor capsule and/or valve preamp (studio style vocal mics) but that is kept well away from the bits you touch.
There used to be an urban myth that if you dropped an old-style GPO telephone reciever into a bucket of water during a phone call it would give the person on the other end an electric shock but that also seems to be BS to me.
