Lately, the 10th string on the C6 neck is hitting the pole on the pickup making a loud "popping" sound. There is a little wear on the plastic part of the pickup from the string rubbing but I don't tink that's it because I lowered the pickup and it still happens. I do rest the heel of my hand on the strings but I always have. If I push the string down, the magnet pole sucks it down and makes the pop but only on that string.
thx

| What you are seeing and hearing is common if the pickup is too close and/or you press too hard on the string. |

I've had this guitar for 27 years and haven't changes the pickup height or the weight of my hands 
Maybe the wear on the edge of the P/U is the reason but I don't think so.
