Hey guys,

Alright, this problem with my electric (It's a Lyon, made by Washburn) occured fairly recently; when I pick certain notes on the lower strings (i.e., low E on the 3rd fret), the body of my guitar buzzes and vibrates.
I've tried pressing on different parts of the body while picking the note to see if it was any loose hardware, but it didn't quiet the vibrations at all.
I went and looked in several books to see if any described the problem my guitar is having, and I couldn't find anything.

Any help with this? :?
A huge thanks in advance!!!!

Okay, so, out of curiosity last night, I made another attempt to find the source of the vibrations. To my delight, I found it--it's the bridge.

Like I said in the previous post, I had tried pressing down on the hardware brefore(this included the bridge) and nothing happened. Which is weird. O_o

But, whatever.

Point is now, how do I fix it?
Should I go and get it set up?
