I don't know if you guys have ever expierenced this?
On my JP BFR (I'm in 'D' standard by the way) when ever I play a 'B' (exception to the 9th and 21st fret) it reverberates in the bridge. I realized this while playing unplugged. It doesn't seem to affect the tone, and it doesn't bleed out while I am plugged in. I've just never noticed it till now! :eek:
I was just curious if any of you guys have experienced anything similar to that? :)

Check the trem springs (put a paper towel between them)
2 guess: a Bridge height screw is not fully contacting the baseplate and vibrates
or loose tremarm.

Check all screws, no big deal

Hope that helps

Thanks Mick! Everything is nice a tight on my guitar, and it's not 100% bothering me. I was just curious if anyone else has had that happen to them before, with a specific note. :)

I've noticed this with a couple of my guitars, I believe it's known as the resonant frequency and varies in guitars depending on wood density and other factors. When you find it you know it, you can feel it in your gut.
