Washburn AB20 -- intermittent loud pops

Unrelated to cables, amps, etc. Anyone experienced this? Perhaps a static buildup? IDK...

Probably pickup or wiring related - let me move this over there for you...

Wait a sec - are these amplified pops or mechanical?

Does this happen after you change strings, and does it cause a string to detune?

If not, it sounds like something related to your electronics...

Oh, it's definitely electronic; I thought it was the amp I was using until I switched amps.
