Let's Discuss Guitar Cable Outer Jacket Static:

After a little research, I'm noticing that the Mogami Gold cables are consistently rated the best. And regarding the static noise, Mogami's marketing states:
... and if you're the kind of player who moves around a lot, carbon impregnated PVC provides an anti static shield layer to prevent all handling noise.

Semi pricey though: 10' @ $68, 18' @ $80keystone?

Mogami is one of the few that publishes specifications for noise, and flexible life span...
Belden might also.
Most manufacturers don't publish the noise specs.

I've had lots of dead Mogami cables, so I'm aittle gun shy....the main studio I work for has a box of dead Mogami's that they periodically send back for replacement.
 
I use wireless with zero interference?
The pedal board fx loop cables are George Ls. I never tried for static but when I switched to those and wiggled cables, very little noise. Old cables crackled like crazy.
Not sure if it is the same thing.

Sounds wacky I know, but it could be your own static electricity jumping to the cables.
Grounding strap for around your ankle maybe? Only half kidding...

But tap the mic while holding your guitar before you sing into it when playing.
Our PA used to run off a 220V tap and I got knocked across the stage once.

Try this just for a test:

Buy some Static Guard spray from the laundry section of some store, like Walmart.

Spray that on a cotton towel or a paper towel. Wipe down the cable with it. Do the same to the plastic pick guard of your guitar.

Does that help?
