Classic Vibe 50's noise problem

Hello Everyone I have a CV 50's Tele that I have a had for a little while. I have noticed that when I touch the strings I get a popping noise it is not really loud but it is annoying. I pulled the switch plate and checked all wiring and solder joints. I even re-soldered a ground on the pot that looked to be a not so great joint. I also pulled the jack and checked that and then ensured that I have good continuity from the bridge-plate and all grounds. Does any one else have this problem and if not should I just swap out all of the electronics for better stuff. It has all alpha stuff in there right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Do you get the noise when touching or rubbing the pickguard ?

Could be static electricity built up on the pg. Rub it down with a anti-static dryer sheet like unscented "Bounce"

Hello sj the popping noise happens even when I am not touching the PG. I will try using a dryer sheet and see if it helps. Thanks for the advice.

I have a bass that does that. It's because the cavities are not shielded and it buzzes a lot when I'm not touching the strings. Then when I do touch the strings it makes a slight "pop" noise and quits buzzing.

Check to make sure that your shielding is grounded (I'm pretty sure that CV's are shielded) to the back of a pot or something that is connected to ground.
