I have an 06 72 Tele Deluxe RI with dual humbuckers. I've noticed that as I play, if my fingers touch the pickguard slightly below the neck pickup, I get a static that seems to be coming through the pickguard. Any idea what could be causing this?

A Bounce Dryer Sheet under the pickguard will get rid of that.

Aside from the static from the pick guard how do you like the guitar. Ive been thinking about getting one. I had an original back in the 70s that I loved. I don,t really like teles but as I remember I liked that one.

I came by it more by accident than design. I really like it though. The HBs really sing sweetly. Nice chunky neck. 12" radius that is my favorite. Beautiful walnut finish... 3 planks. I added Straplocks. I've heard many users (at HC) stating that the neck pot must be changed out to a 500k but I have not yet looked under the hood to see what it has; nor have I noticed any deficiency with the pickup. I'll wear out this set of string soon enough and then I'll pull the pickguard and lube with Dexoit, etc. I think the nut depth may be a bit high so I might get a file or two or turn it over to Bishop, my tech.
