I was experiencing a sitar-like buzz on my high E string (on my HBII). It was happening open or fretted. Tried action, truss rod adjustment... nothing helped. Upon inspecting the saddle I discovered the string (over time) dug a groove in the saddle notch and it was causing the buzz. This had been a replacement bridge so I swapped the original piezo bridge back on the guitar and problem solved, good as new. Sitar buzz gone.
So the saddle... can it be replaced without purchasing a new (expensive) PRS bridge? Can the burr/notch in the saddle groove be filed or buffed out? I can't figure out how these things are even assembled into the bridge, the intonation guide screw don't seem to be removable. What trickery is this?
