For the static noise , grounding must be problem ...Maybe also grounding in your guitar is to blame.Also try moving your guitar away from CRT PC monitor or similar electronic equipment to see if problem persists!
You can use DI box like that but I don't think static problems will disappear. Regarding string lots of brands out there , its a matter of taste..I would recommend ernie ball strings, 9s are cool if you play in standard tuning...It goes like this , the lower the tuning the thicker strings you need..See which tuning you use the most and buy strings for it. p.s. What kind of noise is it exactly ? Constant Buzzing , or electric shock type when you touch the strings. ?

I can't help you with grounding issues. Try as Bogdan said to see if guitar is grounded properly. Try it on a different device, in studio or something. If the same problem occurs, then it is probably the guitar. Also check for grounding on your speakers as well.
Regarding gauge, I suggest you try some hybrid set like 10-52. You can tune down and your fingers wont suffer. In the end, find what you like, this is only a suggestion, the best way is to try out several different sets for both gauge and tone experimenting. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

No problems mate, glad to help. Check with guitar tech, grounding is fairly easy and cheap to do on a guitar.

QUOTE (Jesper L @ Sep 3 2008, 11:16 PM)  Thanks for your quick replys, the static noise is an constant buzzing noise, it gets really loud when i turn sound off on my pickups (turning knobs to 0). Yeah, the guy i bought the guitar from said there was some problem he just couldnt remember what. perhaps it was grounding. Ill give it a look tomorrow while I change strings. I will also buy a grounding adapter. This will sure make my soundquality better. Thanks again Ivan and Bogdan! Yore welcome mate! Maybe just maybe it can be a problem with pickups too...Try isolating your self (moving away guitar form any electronic equipment) to see if problem persists!

I doubt that it is a driver problem, this buzzing is typically caused by grounding problems. You should for sure check if your guitar is properly grounded, you should also check the cables that you are using. Turning the guitar away from the monitor can also help, because your pickups might pick up (
) the magnetic field of the monitor and this can create a big buzzing. Something else that you can try is to reverse the power plugs of all your gear, I know it sounds stupid, but it can be the solution. Don't ask me why, I just know it works, it of course also has to do with grounding
