I noticed when my picking hand is over my pickups as my palm touches the strings i get a cracking sound or a popping sound . To elimate it from happening I have to pick very lightly. Does anyone have a clue and how to fix it. I think it may be a grounding problem .

Sounds like the pickup may be harmonic, picking up the sounds of your picks. Grounding issues usually show up as hums.

Thanks Scott, spoke to Bruce Zumsteg he suggested me to lower the pickups. Problem solved. My base strings were way to close to the PU’s
