I came to this forum because I was having an identical problem. I got rid of about 90% of the problem by opening up the back cover and bending the ground wire away from the walls and cover. I then covered it (albeit crudely) in electrical tape. The "static" sound is no longer present on the pick guard and is almost completely unheard except for a very sporadic "pop" or "ping" that could be accounted for as simple body static discharge.
