G&L asat classic

[deluxe strat 2012]

I have a new asat classic and just noticed that when i touch the bottom of the pick gaurd with my finger i get static, when i say the bottom i mean below the high e string, i dont get it when i touch above the low e string
Im not sure if im in the right place on the forum for this question but any help would be great
has anyone else had this? or know whats causeing it?
thanks Butch

you can run a wire to the pg to ground the static, or wipe it with a dryer sheet. that will eliminate static.

on my 1st post i didnt say , so to be clear the static comes through the amp, i plugged another guitar in the same amp same settings same cord but got no static through the amp. like i said its only on the lower pick gaurd under the neck and middle pick ups where it does this, i can rub my finger above the low e string and get nothing. the way i noticed it was i was strumming and my little finger was rubbing the gaurd and i heard static. the guitar is about 2 months old and i dont remember ever hearing it before

I hear the same static after I polish my ASAT Classic. Wiping the pickguard with a dryer sheet will reduce/eliminate static.

It definitely sounds like you have static noise. As mentioned before, try a dryer softner sheet on the pickguard.
This is also mentioned in the G&L Knowledgebase, G&L Tech Tips sub-forum: Static Noise.

Two other options I can think of are:

1. Replace the plastic pickguard with a metal pickguard.
2. Eliminate the pickguard altogether.

Hope this helps.

I tryed the dryer sheet and it has worked so far thanks

Yes, that works well.
I've had static with quite a variety of guitars, just seems to vary with the weather (more when dry). Just one of those things.
