static upon touch

Another question:

This new CZ1 has a problem that seems to have gotten worse in the 5 days I've owned it. When I touch the instrument anywhere it produces a loud crackly, distorted sound. At first I thought it was just coming from the pitch bend and that a simple cleaning would fix it. However I now realize that it happens when i touch any surface on the instrument, including the body itself. It comes and goes. I tried changing power cables but this does not change things. I'm not much of a repair guy so I don't even know where to go from here, but my novice guess is that it's a grounding issue with the power supply. If it seems like a serious problem I may try to get my money back from the seller. Anyone have any thoughts?

Brendan
