eric clapton custom shop strat (blackie)

The guitar has a static build up that I have been trying to dealing with since I bought it, I did the dryer sheets inside the guitar and this took care of the problem for awhile. I plug it in and I get static coming through the amp. I tried different rooms, power source. I even gave it to a friend and he said it plays real quiet with no noise. This is very annoying and I would like some feedback on this. I even scuffed up the back side of the pick guard as someone suggested on a forum. I had the dryer sheets in theirs for around a month and they worked great but I guess the sheets need to be replaced which could be a pain, Please help me out. It has active circuit on board, All springs are installed and block is in the back of the bridge. The guitar plays great but its noise is getting to me, snap crackle pop. If you prefer to write me at my email pleaase give me some ideas [email]inmybunker@gmail.com[/email] Thanks, guys, Pete

When other people play this guitat its Ok but I have excess static electricity maybe???. If I rub those drier sheets on the ax the static goes away weird

take a look at this website about static electricity, maybe it will give you some ideas..

Maybe a can of laundry spray de-static would do the trick..

Thanks for that, very interesting, I am thinking about tearing up this rug I have in the living room, I am going to try a couple of different things and I will look for that spry. I have dryer sheets in my case also, this is weird

Take a look at this nightmare, You know you buy a guitar worth thousands of dollars and you have to go through this crap
