Hi everyone,
I replaced my older bridge with GOTOH tune-o-matic (it has no retaining wire). Unfortunately, i have rattling and buzzing noises (a sitar effect possibly?). It can go away sometimes (tuning down half or whole step and tuning back up). I took it to the tech, he worked on the bridge grooves a bit to make sure they're not the problem. It was better for a while, but it's worse again.
I've done some research and i think it might be the bridge saddles slightly loose or not tight enough on the screws. Some people suggest using Loctite 221 or clear nail polish to immobilize them. What's your recommendation? Are both these ways easily reversible?
