I hope it's only something simple like that doc! Hope your build goes smoothly throughout

Vibrating pickup adjustment springs, tune-o-matic retainer wire, or maybe even missing fibre washers each side of the Bigsby spring? Find the note/chord that triggers the vibration, pluck it, then with your free hand touch the parts to see what stops it (pickup bodies, Bigsby handle etc).

Shall do! Cheers Scott :)

Also check all the screws. I had the same issue once - it nearly drove me nuts. It ended up being a screw that worked loose with the vibration from playing

Worked out the most part of the buzz! It did have to do with the nut!(really didn't think it did, sorry Doc!) The 'A' slot I cut was too deep and the string was vibrating on the first fret 😖 So I have filled the spot with epoxy and will have to recut the slot... Hopefully that fixes the most part.
My husband thinks the secondary roller is moving a little too much, he is also going to price me a Bigsby B70

That's alright mate, at least we know what the cause of that high pitched buzz was, you're in a position to do something about it to sort it out now.

Yeah should hopefully be easy now :)

So I used some plumbers Teflon tape to fix the rattle in the secondary roller on the 'bigsby'
The grommets were too small so had a lot of movement, hence the rattle/buzz. I applied the teflon to the grommets to make the grommets a larger gauge, and voila it's not rattling anymore :)
Now. I also found that the D string slot in the Knut was too deep also. So I have filled that with epoxy to recut (the A string slot has been fixed and is now all good)
So hopefully tomorrow I get a chance to cut the D slot and set up the guitar (action and intonation) then I shall be bringing some sweet, buzz free sound tests to your ears!
