Its a Sheccter C1 Classic, it has a TOM bridge and doesn't have retainers. I'll see what happenes when I change strings, which will be as soon as my order from musician friend comes in. On my bridge, the very back part of it, the higher strings touch just past the saddles and have worn little notches (similar to the one on the saddles them selves. I tried moving the string around and even lifted it up from where it hits on the back, but it still makes the noise. When I change strings, I'll file down those spots so the strings only hit the bridge once.

The noise doesn't overpower the whole sound of a note, hell, if I'm playin for someone else, they probably wouldn't pick it up. But when I'm jammin and the notes ring out, I can't help but shake my head everytime I hear it. Hopefully its just a worn out string or the saddle just needs some adjusting.
