Answer 1

no worries about the plastic, that doesn't do anything execpt prevent scratching on the pcikguard. If your guitar is making static noises it's probably a wire that's broken. No biggie, any music store can take care of it. The wires are really really thin so it doesn't take much for one to snap, especially in squiers. It's usually a $20 fix.

Answer 2

that might have been static shielding.... and if it was, it was a very dumb thing to peel off...

take it to a shop
