So!
last night I tried to restring and intonate my edwards lp. I brutally swapped some saddles around and on setting it all back up, I think the bridge is rattling. If i play a not anywhere, any string, above the 12th fret, it is more noticeable.
I found pulling the bridge towards the tailpiece cured it. I can't remember if it did this before or not, I haven't played it for a while since it had a broken string. In the past when my guitar has sounded rattly is been the cup on my dunlop straplocks shaking. Anyway... any solution? or does this mean fitting a new bridge?

I'm trying to remember what type of bridge it is - it's an ABR-1 (vintage) type with a wire to hold down the saddles, isn't it?
It might just be that a saddle or the retaining wire isn't seated properly. I don't know any "fixes" though.

it does have a wire, but the saddles screws are stuck in there so hard the retaining wire is pretty much just for show. with or without that, something is rattling.

are you sure its the bridge?
Ive recently had problems with the springs for the pickups rattling because they werent long enough for how i had the pickups set.
it took me a while to figure it out
