Resonance - Where's the ghostly 'D' coming from?


I've recently bought a lovely J-Custom RG5 which is top notch and I love it to bits. *However I've noticed that when I play a note 'D' and mute all the strings, something in the guitar is resonating in symapthy! *After a few moments I deduced it was one or all of that trem springs! *When I play unamped it's noticeable, but when I play at volume the 'D' drone is very evident (which is okay if the song is in D, but I usually play in Bb, and C# ).

So, is there anyway I can stop this phenomenon?

Anil

Resonance


Cotton wool and a toothpick. *I may have read the answer elsewhere!

Resonance


I just stuck a small piece of rag cloth in the trem cavity under the springs so they wouldn't resonate. *A lot of guitars seem to do this, so dont worry about it too much, it's normal and fixable.
