Hello to all.
Just a thought about the static and popping problem. I had the exact same symptoms on my 2016 LP Classic. Very bummed out! However, after trying the waxing & humdifying tricks, to no avail. Didn't feel like trying the dryer sheets. Soooo, as a last resort I figured it couldn't hurt to try cleaning the pots. I sprayed CRC electronic contact cleaner inside each with the red tube, kept spinning the knobs & guess what? Hey, presto, static sounding problem gone!
The next day there was a bit of it back, so I did it again. She sounds great now. I'm going to get a can of compressed air so that I can spray them out really good next time I clean them. Maybe a bit of junk still in there.
Not saying this is your problem, but it's worth a shot.
Super happy! This LP is my absolute fave solid body. I am not worthy of such a great instrument but I will strive to be so. A truly substantial axe!
Rock on,
Dave in the Adirondacks ðŸ¤
