help with my Jagstang

jwk0522

I recently got my Jagstang's action lowered and intonation set and since then I am getting a buzzing sound from around the bridge when I play. Any ideas of what could be causing it and how to get it to stop?

You sure its the bridge? Its probably the frets. In which case you need to raise the action a tiny bit and adjust the truss rod. I wouldn't advise doing it yourself because they're pretty easy to bust the neck.

Mustang bridges do buzz a little sometimes, its probably where the saddles meet each other. Could try a dab of vaseline inbetween them.

ok, yeah i could tell it seemed to be coming from the saddles. Thanks.

I'd check to see if you have your intonation screws resting against the saddles, especially on the E, A, and maybe G strings. The Japanese Fender rocker bridges tend to have screws that are a lot longer than vintage ones, and when the saddles are set far back, they tend to point upward and touch the string, causing buzzing.

Another thing that could cause buzzing is not having the string backpressure behind the bridge tight enough, or having saddles that rattle around due to being loose (bad screws or bad springs).
