Best Answer

String rattling is usually caused by them being in contact with a fret somewhere along the board.

To solve this you should raise the action on your guitar, This simply involves using either an Allan key or a screwdriver to raise the height of your bridge (tail)

Another way in which string can rattle is due to the tuning

Standard E-a-d-g-b-e may not cause so many problems, if so the above will fix that.

Drop D D-a-d-g-b-e may cause problems with your low string in this case just raise one side of your bridge a little higher

Drop C C-g-c-f-a-d Either again your bridge is too low or you could try a diffrent gauge of strings, preferably 10 + Heavier strings will also give a much chunkier sound and usually require your bridge to be raised.

*Changing String Gauge may also lead to your tremolo raising your bridge dangerously high, just adjust the springs at the back til it sits either parallel or flush with the body, Additional Strings may be required.
