Too bad you can't solder a ground to the acrylic!

Insulating the guard and cavity seems like an option then?

Quite the opposite: just like the bridge has a ground wire to it and it's either soldered or simply pressure fit to the body to make contact, run a tinned wire under the edge of the pickguard where a pickguard mounting screw will keep it secure and ground it out to the jack ground lug so a static charge doesn't build up.

RIght - Tony suggested trying Static Guard but it was no help for me. I must just be an electric personality (or a polarizing figure).
