Hello all, I have a 2014 Prime Alloy that I really like. The only problem i'm having is getting it as quiet as I would like. At first I thought my drop away rest was the culprit but it now appears there is quite a bit of vibration or twang coming from the string. When I pluck th string slightly it seems the noise might be coming from the string suppressor and/or the lower half of the string. Ive taken off the suppressor with limited results and am considering an after market one. I also have a cat whisker on the lower string and don't if or why that would be the reason for the noise but it does seem to be originating from that area.

I hope that description made sense. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Mike
