Taylor pre-amp vibration
Have a Taylor 322ce 12-fret. When I hit the D string open the pre amp seems to be vibrating ever so slightly creating a noise. Its not enough for anyone to really hear but enough to drive me insane. Any thoughts?

Preamp or battery door? Certain strings/notes on my T5 caused a vibration that drove me nuts when I played without amplification. I discovered it was the battery door when there is no battery installed. The fix is to either install a battery even if I'm not playing amplified, or just put a small piece of tape over the door.

Did you buy it new? If so, bring it to a tech for warranty work. Maybe it's a wire? Not sure the circuit board would actually have anything on it to buzz/vibrate.

Could it be what I term the "D- and G-string, string-ping/sitar-thing" going on? These two strings seem to be the most vulnerable to causing a tinny-like overtone when struck, especially with a flatpick. This effect can usually be eliminated by adjustments to the nut and saddle.
