I bought a new 2020 Les Paul Standard 60s and the static is driving me nuts. My $300 Harley Benton is silent, but my $2,000 LP pops and cracks. Unreal that Gibson doesn't care and can keep selling guitars like this. I tried getting a hold of somebody at Gibson, I sat on hold for literally an hour. Got disconnected, called back, sat on hold and finally got somebody who said to bring it to guitar center for warranty work. I took it to guitar there, they confirmed the noise and said they had to contact Gibson. Their contact at Gibson never responded. They cc'd me on a few emails, but they never heard back. The store I bought it from offered to have me ship it back to them at their cost, which I did. They got it and said they never heard anything wrong and sent it back to me. So, I have essentially a brand new Les Paul with static and pops and nothing I can do about it other than start investigating shielding etc. Such a major disappointment. I can't believe Gibson allows guitars out like this.
