Troubleshooting Vertical problem

[jolly roger]

Hi Phil, 
            You got lots of good advice on this one, I've seen a few where
the bridge cut out is rubbing against the plate. But i will bet it will be
sound board/bridge related.
 If it is the plate/ bridge cut problem, use a flush cut saw and gain some
clearance, by trimming the end of the bridge.
Regards Roger
