Static build up in new Gretsch

Could be a ground issue in your house wiring. I've noticed these kinds of things on several of my guitars, and my house wiring is 76 years old and two-conductor! Doesn't do it at my office.

Yeah,I used an outlet tester and they are all grounded. I’m going to send it back and hope Sweetwater can find an issue with it. It really is a great guitar otherwise.
