strange noice from guitar

Post by Lexington Steele »

My guitar is making a very strange sound. When i play something that is percussive, it makes a sound of something vibrating. It's not a buzz or a rattle. They best way i can describe it is like when little kids make the "motor boat" sound by blowing out of their lips. I know that is a horrible example. sorry. I thought maybe it was wires vibrating against the inside, but it's not. And new strings don't fix it either. Any suggestions?
