That ZM with Probuckers makes me want to thin the herd. I'm selling my Gibson Tribute SG.

You just stick around and get a little more active here. We'll have you saying dumb things within a couple weeks!

There's a buzz while plucking the G string, really loud, coming from the body. I thought it could maybe be a wire sympathetic to that frequency. If I lower or raise that string tuning, it stops buzzing. Strange. Not the bridge, not the tuners.

I thought restringing would rid it of the buzz. The annoying rattle is still there. Comes from the body or something. Thought about something in the hollow part of the body. I blew compressed air in it to get whatever bug resides in there. Not happening. Good thing is, it doesn't come out through pickups.

I later found that by pressing on the back of the high E tuner it almost goes quiet. That tuner is solidly fixed.
Thought about truss rod, but I tweaked it and still there.

Could possibly be a loose ground wire, or the pickup mounting springs.

I did play with wires in the control cavity, don't remember if I specifically did the ground wire, I'll try that. I unscrewed the rings and picked up the pickups from the surface and it was still there. Springs are pretty compressed anyway.

I put the ZM on the food scale: 6.1 pounds, SG territory !
