I have a Clapton Strat, just developed a sound like static electricity when I touch the pickguard just under the middle pickup. Can anyone tell me what is going on.

Take a cloth, dip it in some "Stasoft", or whatever fabric softener you have in your house...you know the stuff that makes your clothes smell like flowers, and makes the fabric soft like a baby's bum.

Anyway, wipe down your pickguard with a cloth thats been dipped in the fabric softener, the static will disappear.

If the static comes back, wipe it down again. :wink:

Put a Bounce Dryer Sheet under the pickguard.
