    Crackling noise when I touch a certain spot on the scratch plate ?

    Strangest thing I've only began to notice. I only managed to figure it out tonight as I thought it was related to the pickups and only an issue when strumming the strings. However without strumming or touching a string I noticed i can make the same crackling noise just by touching a certain...
