Why does your electric guitar have a lot of static on it when you plug it in to the amp?

Answer 1

It doesn't have static "in" it, its just sounds that way when you try to plug it in. If you are getting allot of "noise" then your guitar isn't shielded properly or it isn't grounded properly. The amp may not be earthed or grounded properly. You may need to get the guitar and amp checked at a Guitar store.

The lead may be damaged,

for example if you can unscrew the end of the lead, the plug, you can see if the solder has broken , then you can get someone to solder, fix it, or if it is a sealed lead, buy a new one.
