Is it like a short clicking/popping noise, repeated once, two or three times when bending?
I think the problem might be in the string tree, where the friction between the string three and string occurs once you bend. It's a common thing on these guitars, and won't affect your tone or wood or anything. Put your ear close to the string tree, to locate the noise. One solution is to buy another string tree, but possibly better solution is to smooth out the lower surface of the tree (the one that makes contact with the string). I did this on my strat, and it solves the problem for couple of months (then it's the same procedure again, because the friction makes small indents that grow larger in time on that side of the string tree) This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Jan 15 2012, 01:30 PM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hmm, that feels odd I'm not sure exactly what type of noise is that, is the wood making that noise itself, or your thumb that is moving across it?

If you find a way to record such a noise so we can hear it, it would be very good. Otherwise it's difficult for me to know exactly what it is. I get some noise from moving the thumb, but that doesn't sound like crunchy wooden noises. Perhaps it would be indeed best to take it to luthier.
