Went through the same problem with my Gibson Sgs I had a 04 standard for years no problem, but sold it a few years back then I bought a 2013 Sg standard big time static off the neck, after a year I sold it bought then bought the Gc 2014 Sg standard 61 with the split coil went through 4 of these every one had that static bad tried every new Gibson in local Gc Lloyd have the same issue bad lps std Sg Ext...so got my money back and bought a 2001 Gibson Sg 61 reissue NO PROBLEMS at all . So all I know for sure is from 2004 back this is not a issue but it sure is now , under the current state I would not buy Gibson of any kind . Good luck with this it's a big problem that no one wants to talk about but I am glad people are now !
