Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced noise being generated by the pick striking the pickguard of their Telecaster? I can take a pick and drag it across my pickguard (no struming of strings) and can hear a definite noise being generated through my amp. It isn't "loud" and would never be heard over the playing of the instrument, but I am curious if maybe I have something wrong with wiring or some other issue?

Thanks!

Gary

This static noise happens to me too this time of year when the air gets dry. Static electricity gets built up in the pickguard. A few rubs of a dryer sheet over the pickguard will get rid of the static...and leave your Tele smelling fresh! But like walker.rocker12 said, a permanent solution would be to shield the pickguard.
