Thanks for the response. I would agree that it would indicate something superficial and possibly loose, but I checked out all the obvious things like the pickup rings etc and also removed the battery but to no avail. To me it feels like the seating where the string rests on the piezo element but why that would be I don't know as it's obviously tight down under the string tension pressure.@Chris Canavan can you post some pics from different angles? I don’t remember if it was this thread or not but someone had similar issues which turned out to be related to the plastic pickup ring rubbing, and maybe the wound strings are low enough frequency to trigger the vibration. . I just mention that because if it goes away with a tap on the body then it’s likely something superficial that moves easily. Either way some pics would help.
Oh, I think the only way to post pics is to have them hosted somewhere else, then put a link to it using the button above that looks like a mountain and a sun. I post pics to my FB account, or a DIY guitar forum I'm a member of. Maybe a video would be better anyway - can you post a short video on YT of the buzzing? I know something like this is hard to diagnose from pics but I just figured it can't hurt to have a few hundred eyes take a look at it, lol.
@Chris Canavan I just remembered, I think what you said about the bridge saddle. There are springs but also that center screw to adjust the intonation. It's possible the spring tension is making the saddle contact the screw and one side of the bridge, and maybe just a slight enough gap at the other side of the saddle that it only contacts sometimes, resulting in the buzz. Just a thought. If you can replicate the buzz, maybe there's a way you can put a finger on the saddle while it's buzzing to see if it stops?
You're right, sorry I didn't get much sleep last night. No springs. I just meant there may be 2 or 3 points of contact: the center adjustment screw, the right side, and the left side of the saddle. I feel like the screw shouldn't be a point of contact (should have enough clearance so the saddle sits firmly on the bridge) but if I recall correctly, the screw is too high to allow that to happen in some cases. So my thought was that if the screw is a little high up and the saddle might be resting on it and vibrating against the bridge. Anyway sorry if I'm making it more confusing, just trying to help.
My guitar has been away for service for awhile so unfortunately I can only go by memory.
