    I found out, that I have buzz noise on the two lower strings. But with some pressure on different sides on the tailpiece I can affect it. So it was my suggestion, that it has to be something on the stringends or the nut where the string is going through.
    So I have taken a shrink-tubing and put it around the string ends (see picture).
    After that all was ok - and without modify something on the guitar!

    I hope I can help someone with this...

    Now I win against the rattle-noise of a tuneomatic bridge!! (which I have on some frequences)
    First I want to fix the moveable parts with a nail-lacquer.
    But than I've had an idea to fix it removeable, so that I can set the strings again in tune.
    So I cut small pieces from a mossrubber and squeeze it between the free spaces of the screw.
    I moved it back and forward, so that I can put the biggest cuboid inside with a little screwdriver. So I have the most pressure between against the rattle-noise.
    And it works perfect!! (and I'm always able to tune the intonation again)

    Now I'm happy with my new eastman!

    I'm not familiar with the term mossrubber.

    I think "neopren foam" is the right english description. I've cut the pieces which I need from a 3mm thick stripe and stick it in with an little screwdriver.
    You also get it often with an adhesive site for fixing the damping material.

    On a similar note, I have a rattling/loose wire inside my Heritage Golden Eagle. I'm pretty certain (without visual evidence) that whatever secured the wire connecting the floating pickup to the jack) has come loose after some 30 years. Any easy solutions besides chewing gum?
