I'm pretty sure they may be designed to spark INSIDE of them then if that is what they are. I kept seeing a 1/4" spark jump from one side of the one to a ground trace on the neck board. I'll hafta check if one side of that part I took out IS connected to ground....or if one side of the one that is still there is (on the other side of the neck board). Maybe for some reason I'm getting a big charge on one side and it's arching from that side to ground instead of through the part where it wouldn't be a big loud "snap".
