  1. Hey there, Thanks everybody for the replies. It's either a fret or the nut or the cables inside under the saddle. (i still tend to think it comes from loose cable or so under the saddle) I will repair the clip, or add a new one. This is the second model that i got btw. The first one - a 2017 model also - was an overall catastrophe and it had a lot of issues out of the box (chip of wood missing in the fretboard, horrible paintjob etc.) It also had the same rattle, more dominant, but still. But it now the second 2017 J-45 has the same rattle on the first frets of the string. So maybe it's a stock issue? I am using the J-45 just as it is, when it came out of the box. But maybe I have to take it to a Guitar guy. I love the guitar a lot, but when I discovered the rattling noise playing an F powerchord, I was disappointed for sure. Expected a bit more for that sum of money, but anyway. Live long and prosper ilots @ aliasphobias I live in Austria, so it's a long way to the sun ;)
  2. 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): https://www.thomann.de/at/gibson_j45_standard_vs.htm?ref=search_rslt_j-45_228796_2 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 ilots
