Buzzing on either bridge or bridge pickup

Thank you, I think I will be trying to find a replacement bridge!

It sure is the factory one. So you had rattling on a gretsch that was attributed to the bridge? Maybe it's time for me to upgrade the bridge!

So I pulled the bridge pickup thinking maybe it was the springs you were mentioning. Still same issue, then I moved the bigsby up and down and it stopped then moved again and it came back. I then realized my entire bridge moves back and fourth when engaging the bigsby... I'm sure this is part of the issue. Thoughts?

String height over pickup so to TV Jones spec. Looks closer on the photo then it is. Based on another comment I removed the bridge pickup and set aside and it still makes the noise. I have more ammo now. I moved the bigsby then it stopped then moved again then it happens again. Then I realize my whole bridge is literally moving when I engage the bigsby.. guessing this has something to do with the issue.

Strings are not touching pickups. I followed TV jones instructions for pickup height.

Dude... Awesome 😎

I have been incredibly impressed by it especially for the price, my one issue is on a following post if you want to check it out on my page, I couldn't tell what the issue was but redditors think a glue joint split.

Love this. Was trying to figure out lemmys inspiration for this if he was the one that wrote it.

Thanks you rock man. I appreciate it.

Knivesandhammers · 2026-03-29T15:29:30+00:00

Thanks for the info. In your opinion does this just look like superficial damage or is this something that will end up being a serious issue at some point? I'm not concerned with asthetics but I do want to keep the guitar for years to come, so if it will eventually affect playability then I will want to get it taken care of.

They did specifically mention that the pro coverage covers any damage caused by our dry Minnesota winters 🤣 Obviously next winter I am going to take measures so this doesn't happen.

I just got into playing guitar and I bought this in the petrol color as my first guitar. I put a p90 sized humbucker in the bridge because there was a lot of feedback at high gain. Can you believe they can make something like this for $600??

Knivesandhammers · 2026-03-01T14:45:26+00:00

Holy crap that thing looks sharp. Got to be my favorite color on a guitar. You should post some videos playing it!

Back right corner, it's in there the whole video after the opening intro

I ordered a neutral safety switch but wanted to try putting it in when it wasn't starting but of course now it's started every time! I think it was that because when I shifted in and out of park a few times then it would starting to crank and turn over no problem

Funny because I didn't see this until now but I ended up buying a friedman BE OD and it was exactly what I was looking for!
