I got all my stuff and redid the wiring in my Strat - it sounds great, btw  - but it has static pops now. Took me a while to figure out, but after some trial and error I've found discharching on the strings causes a little pop. It may have always done this (I'm going through under a "new wiring scruteny" phase) and may be completely normal, but I don't remember it happening before. What gives and how can I stop it? Thanks! |

Hey avor, what mods did you do?
Sounds like you may have a grounding problem. I used to get static pops from my fingers & hand brushing the pick guard. A QTB solved the problem. I'd check to see that everything is grounded first, strings, pick guard, etc., then move on to other possibilities.

Why it's the reason many of us came to be in this place. |

Just click on ux's link above and you will enter the glorious realm of Quieting the Beast (QTB). ;D For single-coil users it is indispensible, and even a humbucker-equipped guitar can pop due to static buildup under the pick guard.  |
