Reply With QuoteGet a bottle of clear nail polish and put a small drop anywhere you suspect the rattle to be coming from. It's totally reversible, and does the trick for me. Don't get it near the string, bridge contact point though.

| 1972 Gibson showcase brochures |
 In 1972 Gibson produced a series of 'Guitar of the Month' brochures, each dedicated to one of their high end models, the Les Paul Recording guitar, L5-CES, ES-175D, Super 400-CES, ES-355TD-SV and
Byrdland. Each brochure was a single sheet folded into four panels, with details of the instruments themselves, their features, musical purpose, and a little history behind the development of each guitar. Only the Les Paul Recording was a new model; the others were all well established in the Gibson line. Follow the link to see scans and further information on these leaflets and other Gibson guitar catalogues from the CMI and Norlin periods.

| 1961 Vox Stroller |
 The earliest versions of the Vox Stroller were actually copies of an early Japanese electricguitar, the Guyatone (also sold under the brand Antoria) LG50. These Strollers, although short-lived did undergo a few changes before taking on the more familiar Strat influenced style of many mid-sixties UK-built Vox guitars. The biggest difference between early and late LG50-style Strollers (and the two pickup version, the Shadow) was the larger pickup, a shade longer, but noticeably wider used in the very first Vox guitars. Compare this early Vox to a 1963 Stroller with the later V1 pickup. For more information about Vox guitar pickups in general, see the Vox guitar pickups page.

Rattling bridge?
Hey there,
Ok... I've had the Hag in commission for about 2 weeks now. It sounds EXCELLENT. Just the sound I was looking for, really (and at a super price!). I have the Ampeg in the shop being gone over, and am just playing the guitar through my Behringer GMX212 (the amp was given to me).
One question... is it normal for such rattle to come from the bridge? I'm not going to make a big deal of it (after all, I did get the guitar and amp for just $300). The rattle doesn't come through the pickups when amplified... it just sounds that way when playing it un-amplified.
What are other member's experience with this?
The closeup of the bridge below was just to show that it is the original bridge. And yes, all screws are tight...
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I have actually heard of that... didn't know if it was a feasible option or not. One thing I do know... my hand position leads to my right hand brushing against the low E bridge adjuster... and the corners are SHARP!
