See, I'm not crazy! Saw this posted on a site unfortunately they don't give a solution to the problem.
Electrostatic or Static Electricity
The term "Electrostatics" is used to cover a very broad set of physical phenomena. "Electrostatic noise" or "Static electricity" have often been used to describe certain types of noise experienced by guitar players. By definition, electrostatic is just that - electrically static, which means an electrical charge that is not moving. If it's not moving, it's not causing noise! When an electrostatic charge becomes discharged, it is often called "Electrically Kinetic" under those conditions it can certainly create a crackle or pop. Electrostatic charges can build up on our bodies which can be discharged to your instrument (or for fun to your cat!). They are also the cause of lightning!
A less common complaint from guitarists is the crackling sound caused by the static charge generated by the hand & plastic pickguard as the guitar is played, which then finds a discharge path to your guitar circuit, causing a crackling sound.
Electrostatic discharges are not the cause of continuous hum from your guitar, but in some cases, can be damaging to your amp or effects pedal if they are not tolerant or designed with internal protection.
