I've been trying to find that forum and thread. In the meantime, I've found that this seems to be a very common problem. Solutions range from simple (rubbing an anti-static fabric softener sheet on the pickguard -- not under it as I'd thought --for a temporary fix) to the complicated (shielding the pickups).

I found (and lost) a great step-by-step guide for the latter. I DID find this:

I also own the 60th Tele and have the same problem. Does it happen only when the neck or neck/bridge pups are being used? Believe it or not, I read on some forum (can't remember where) that the cure is to stick a sheet of Bounce (or some similar fabric softener/anti-static product) underneath the pickguard! :shock:

I have to admit that I haven't been brave enough to try it (I don't even trust myself with changing strings, ya see). I also have to say that I'm not positive that whomever suggested this wasn't kidding, but they seemed serious to me. I read replies saying that it worked for a few people. :?:

Let me know if you decide to give it a go. And please don't hurt me if it's a misinterpreted joke! :)]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance musica23 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-6oth-anniv-static/#post-266246 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-6oth-anniv-static/#post-266059 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 11:17:02 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance BillG https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-6oth-anniv-static/#post-266059 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-6oth-anniv-static/#post-266037 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 03:36:51 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Robbie https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-6oth-anniv-static/#post-266037 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-6oth-anniv-static/#post-28199 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 22:41:06 +0000 Robbie
