Sometimes, not always, I get this static-type noise when my fingers rub against the pickguard. And, whenever the static thing is happening, I get a tiny "pop" when I touch the pickup mounting screws. I use the neck/middle pickups mainly. Sometimes it don't do it. When I use a pick, I usually kinda rest my ring and pinky fingers on the pick guard. So, when I play, my fingers kinda rub back and forth against the pick guard. Am I building up static or something doing this? Has anyone else had this problem? I did have a tech install some new pickups (see below) a few months ago. Could he have done something wrong with the wiring? It is really annoying.

Put one of those anti-static dryer sheets under your pickguard to see it that gets rid of the problem.

I have heard of this problem many times, but it's never happened to me.

I guess it must be a geographic/weather thing.
