Rabs Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Nice.. They are really nice guitars for the price... Tell me.. Is there a reason that the trussrod cover is backwards? Or is it something you like to do to mess with peoples heads? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What pickups does she have? 490R and 490T Humbucker. Powerful classic sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had this problem but I hear that the anti static dryer sheets do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesmachine Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I have never had this problem but I hear that the anti static dryer sheets do a good job. Tried that but left a messy residue on the neck. I understand that it is an electrical charge they put to the finish to save paint. So far all I've been doing is polish the begeezus out of it hoping that will make it go away.

Bluesmachine Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 What are you doing with the guitar when you are getting the static discharge? What part are you touching? The guitar gives off the static discharge if I run my hand up and down the neck, it's a case of touching the frets for starters. Anything that's metal will give the pop and crackling sound. Also the back plate screws will pop and crackle. I've had the guitar since late Feb/17. When I first got it, rubbing the guitar on my shirt to change position caused a lot of static also. The best I've been able to do is polish the begeezus to it once a week on the hope it will get rid of the noises. The other theory why it gives off the static is because Gibson puts a charge to the finish to save on paint/lacquer. I've been told it will eventually go away so time will tell. For the moment it looks like the guitar won't be along for a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I would say new finish and a fuzzy guitar case. I would clean the guitar with a nitro friendly product. I would say the word naphtha , but there are some here that don't believe in that as a safe product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Looks and sounds great (does need a poker chip though to finish it off). It would be helpful to others when doing this type of demo to tell us what amplifier and/or effects you used. Good job, and nice playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that you are the source of the static electricity and then when you touch the metal, you notice it. I have an issue like that where I have microfiber covered furniture and if I get up to play a guitar, I will get the pop. My solution is to increase the humidity to 55% and touch a metal object to discharge the electricity before touching a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the moment it looks like the guitar won't be along for a gig. People are always complaining about high Gibson charges. Vigourous rubbing with a cloth could make it worse! ;) If your shirt is the problem, play in a bathrobe. And to get rid of static, try moving around more. Seriously... I've never heard of this before on a guitar. It seems weird. I hope you can solve it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
