Hey all!
I've got a breadwinner. I like the way it plays and sounds, but I have an "echo" problem. When I'm doing fingerwork on the high strings I get a real annoying echo in the strings I'm not picking. The sound from the strings I play seems to resonate through the bridge and create harmonics in the other strings. Its really annoying. Is this a common problem with the breadwinner? What can I do to fix it? I seem to see alot of pictures of breadwinners that have had the metal Deacon saddles installed and I have begun to wonder if the metal saddles eliminate the echo?

I also need some parts if anyone has 'em to sell.
I need one of the round nuts that goes arond the selector switch on the pickguard, and one of the black plastic tuners with the silver head.

thanks all

Try putting a piece of foam rubber behind the bridge saddles (between the saddles and the tailpiece holes). You need to damp the the strings back there. It's caused by one or more of those being tuned to a harmonic of the note(s) your playing. Doing this might cause the guitar to be less "alive".
