Sadowsky will discontinue the Jimmy Bruno model

it's close but that instrument needed some tweaking. If you listen carefully , there are some sympathetic vibrations going on with the low strings that detracted from the overall tone. Never figured out where that was coming from . Could have been the pickup vibrating, the bridge pieces, a cable inside the guitar or something else, but that guitar was very close.

Seems like sympathetic vibrations is haunting most guitars from time to time, no matter the make and model.

I had this problem with my Painter P-350 (which I like a lot) and it drove me crazy. I tried everything in vain. Then one day I noticed that the noise stopped when i pressed down firmly on the pickguard. It turned out that the noise was caused by the pickguard vibrating against the bracket holding it. A shim of cardboard between the pickguard and the bracket got rid of it and it's been quiet since.

For the last 35 years I have had a bit of a saxophone reed vedged between the brigde PU and the PU ring on my 1961 Gibson 175 to stop the PU from buzzing. Crude, but it works.

I've had 7 jazz guitars in my life. All of them had some kind of rattling or buzzing, be it the pickguard or the pickup-rim or the tailpece or a switch or who knows what.
