Question about strings rattling

Post by nate »

OK I just re strung my guitar and I noticed that I'm getting a rattling sound that sounds likeit is coming from the bridge/saddle area of my guitar. I just noticed this rattle the day after I had re-strung my guitar. I was just wondering if it could be the strings or is something wrong with my neck or my frets, or saddle? It's only on the 6-3 strings (so the wound strings) So any info or tips would be much appreciated. It's just wierd becasue it happend all of a sudden.

did you change the guage of the strings? (are they bigger/smaller than the strings you had on before?)

I fixed it. My b string wasn't secured by the bridge pin (it was hanging down a little too low)so everything else was rattling sympathically. But they were the same gauge of strings by the way. thanks
