My Tele rattles like crazy and I don't know what to do!

I've heard you guys say that it rattles but I didn't do it as much as it does now. You guys said it was the bridge right? If it is can I get a better one? how much will it cost?

Please and Thanks!!

It would be helpfull if you tell us what's rattling :?:

The strings,bridge saddles,intonation screws&springs,bridge pickup etc :?:

Could it be your strings are to low/thin :?:

It sounds like its coming from the bridge area.

I'm having it taken to a luthier in a while

I forgot to put that it does have a low action. Thats Why I prefer it. But that might be the problem

If you don't hear the rattling when playing amplified it's okay.
Otherwise raise the strings a little or use some heavier strings.
But first determine where the rattling is coming from.

Good luck,

Peter

When you say 'rattling' what do you mean? Not fret buzz due to low action. I'd try a gauge heavier strings to add a bit more tension....
