Static Noises

I have a new HOLLOW body and have minor static that I hear on it. I have had other guitars with the same but this is minor and doesnt't drive me crazy, yet. I have heard it is mostly on new guitars with the pic guard new glossy surface is the cause guy on 300guitars.com had a few views on scoch briting the back of pick guard and even copper tape. Also dryer sheets. Any other ideas. Hoping this static does not make me nuts b4 I eliminate it completly. I am a TV distribution tec by trade and I have found that static does build up in the wiring and even the amp but is easy to discharge. I addressed that hear at home with my guitar and amp. Any other ideas?

Single coil pickups?

Noise gate would be an option in reducing the sound

I noticed the same...when by fingers brushed or rested on the scratch gurard of my semi-hollow body electric while strumming. There was no question it was static caused by such as when I didn't allow my fingers to touch the guard there was no such sound. Further, when I wet my fingers, to eliminate the dryness causing the static, the sound disappeard until my fingers were dry again.

I worried about the guitar and worried about the interference caused by my technique until I decided it was probably a bad habit on my part and I forced myself to change. That eliminated the noise but the potential (pun intended ;) ) remains.
