Hello Guys,

I've bought a used JPX half a year ago. Unfortunately I didn't check the guitar well enough to see that the piezo on the lower E-string is giving a buzzing sound sometimes.
I already contacted MM customer service and they recommended me to replace all piezo saddles + the preamp.
I'm from Germany and this is quite a pricey option that I'm not 100% sure to be necessary.

Of course I tried the many recommended solutions in the different forums but nothing got the buzzing permanently go away. But what I noticed is, that the buzzing is not consistent. Sometimes it doesn't occur at all and sometimes during the whole playing. It just feels like there could be some loose contact or anything because sometimes I could get rid of it by shaking the guitar a little bit. I already disassembled everything but it looked normal to me. No broken cable or anything like that.

Maybe someone here had the same problem and found a solution? Or is it really the piezo that's broken, although it's possible to get it working sometimes?

Thanks in advance for any help!
