Hi there,
as it says in the tiles my new 2016? i think Gibson J-45 has rattling noise next to the bridge.
I got exactly that (or a 2016 model, i donno):

Rattling noise with the guitar in general mostly only happens only when i play The E and A String, the rattling noise only ocurrs when i play these fets:
When 1 Play the F fret, it doesn't rattle, when 1 press it very hard. the harder i press, the less there is this rattling noise
I am not joking, saying that I know this could be due to the string being to close to the fretboard. but it surely doesn't look like that.
To my ears this strange sound is located more or less exactly here, or somewhere under it:
It sounds/seems like these frequencies set something in motion, that resonates inside or close outside, can't say for sure.
I went to take a picture of the guitar's inside, hoping there was something there. Does everything look normal to your eyes?
And by the way, what is this second hole, that I marked yellow?
The silver clipper that holds the wire seems loose to me?!? Am I right?
It really seems the sound comes eather from something that is resonating or directly from the saddle.
Did anybody experience the same issues?
The guitar is as it came, being new from the seller.
Thanks for helping, I wonder if there us somebody which can tell me what's going on. Thanks a lot
