Try raising the bridge. The screws can be elevated via alen wrench.

Same as that other chick with the rattling strings. Check your neck to see if you need a truss rod adjustment.

FIRST make sure it's not any of the hardware that's rattling. Pluck each string individually, while listening to the bridge, and then the tuning nuts. If it's none of that THEN check your neck.

Well, you can't really know if the truss has been adjusted before unless you have done it, or you have had somebody else do it for you.
Have you done what I told you to in my last post yet? If not, then it's strongly suggested that you do. THEN check your neck to see if it's bowed, or arched, or just set to low.

EXCELLENT ARTICLE FOR YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE TO READ ON THIS SUBJECT!!!
