Anyone having either of these problems?
1) Loud popping noise when trying to play and charge simultaneously making it impossible to do so.
2) Green light indicating fully charged doesn't come on or does so only occasionally.

I don't know these guitar.
We need to know more.

1- Did your guitar always do that out of the store ?
If not, tell more.

Fender specs suggest a good usb charger ; 5 volts dc at 1000 ma
Is it what you are using ? 1000 ma ?
Beware of cheap no name usb charger.

Problem only began a few months in. I purchased a charger based on the Fender specs. (Very surprised it did not come with one.) Regardless, after reading about others having the identical problem and after having phone support tell me that they were aware of the general problem but not the cause and, therefore, have no fix at this time, I returned the guitar for a Telecaster Elite Thinline. (I think I'm done with guitars that require batteries!)

Problem is solved :lol:

Can you say more about the charger you bought ?
Brand, write the electrical specs. Picture or link.

I see too often people bought the wrong charger thinking specs are good.
I work in electronic.

I could be wrong too and it is a Fender bad desing
