Hey, guys, I've noticed a rattling (very much like the sound of small baby rattle but less obtrusive) if I vibrate the headstock area of my DTC by, for example, gently shaking it. About three years old, Standard trem, Regular Anderson locking tuners (the ones with a slot that a penny fits into). Sounds like it's coming from inside several tuners. Any ideas? Thanks.

In dry weather the tune nuts can get loose. Seen it many times. It's a 10mm wrench.

That's what happened to me one time... the rattle drove me crazy until I finally figured it out.

Thanks Tom, Pietro, I'll give it a go when I change strings.
