Need a little more info Mark and pics are great too. Is the ringing acoutstic or when you are amped up? What are the saddle and nut made of? What kind of strings? A lot of variables to contend with.

string ring  is  usually attributated to    break angle  at the   nut  or bridge  ..   and / or  slot  depth issues    in  either   , or both .  also  a string  cutting into  the wood (without a furrel)  may do  this .

 

you  could also  try up  tuning  .

I am using acoustic .044W, .034W .026W on the left guitar and the other is a set of light medium.  The guitar on the left, bridge is a wrench and the nut is a bolt.  Angles there are fairly flat.  The other has a bolt for a bridge and the nut is some kind of plastic from a scrapped guitar.  The ringing didn't start until a few weeks after use and is most noticeable when all strings are dampened at once.

Sounds like yer pick up is vibrating? maybe you'll want to fasten it down a little tighter.

It could also be due to string tension or lack of. maybe you need to add a string tree between

the nut & tuners? this will add downward pressure on the strings & thus taking away string buzz.

You might want to check the back where the strings come thru the tail, maybe they're digging into

the wood, you can shim that by sliding some small washers onto yer strings so that they sit on the

top of the tail between the strings & wood. hope this helped.

Happy strummin'
