Hi there,

I need some advice here please.

I just replaced the entire set of strings on my classical guitar with the D'Addario Classical Guitar EJ46 hard tension strings. All is well except the G string. I get a rattling sound, besides the normal g note, if I strike it with a little more force (like with a rest stroke). All other strings are ok.

I have the same problem now even after replacing the new hard tension strings with a low tension ones.

Q1) What causes the rattling sound that seems to come from the bridge area?
Q2) Can hard tension strings be used or only normal tension ones?
Q3) Have I damage my guitar in any way by using the hard tension strings? :(

I don't recall having the issue before the string replacment.

Thank you.
