So I've been having an issue with my ABR-1 bridge on a 2013 Collectors Choice Les Paul. The bridge started rattling about a week ago, so I decided to restring it and give it a full set up since it was needed. At first, the buzz seemed to go away, but after completing the set up and adjusting intonation, I realized it was worse than it had ever been. I tried flipping some of the saddles around but it hasn't done anything. I even tried screwing the saddles all the way forward and all the way backwards in an attempt to stop it. It's been unsuccessful and needless to say the intonation was horrendous. So the guitar is currently in a state where the neck relief, action, and intonation are perfect, but it's buzzing like crazy. I've read some other old posts about people having this issue, but 9/10 times the problem is with the retaining wire. This bridge has no retaining wire. I've heard of people using clear nail polish to somehow stabilize the saddles. I have a hard time understanding how they're doing this. Any tips or tricks out there of which I'm unaware?
