All Dear, I know this is an odd problem, but I have checked the grounding and the shielding. And found this problem on three of seven guitars and consistent with any amp I have tried when it happens which is not consistent. The Techies at Tech21 NYC (where my amp is from) have mentioned they had heard of rare occurences where static electricity was the likely source, but offer no solution. Might not be one. My friend thinks it's me - Somehow I am electric. Hah-hah. The only thing that I found made a difference was putting masking tape on my Strat's pickguard as a test so my pick and skin do not touch the pickguard. This worked. Go figure. Thanks for reading the posting. Open to new ideas if anyone has any. DB

Brian, Not a grounding or shielding issue. No noise itherwise. Only when strumming. Builds up a charge, then the PUPs "hear" it. Heard of this before, but never experienced it. Ideas?

Anyone had problems with and then solved the problem of static build-up and static noise caused by strumming during the winter months?
