If the strings are of a different gauge, then a small mismatch may have occured which has allowed a bit of backbowing.

I am in Australia as well.

A good setup can do wonders.

Hey Steve, thanks for the comment dude and No the man didn't adjust the truss rod at all, I was there when he was changing the strings so I know for a fact he didn't touch anything else other than the strings and the brass pins i wanted to put in. that brings me to another question. if i switched from plastic pins to brass pins could that possible be the reason i'm getting string rattle? i don't know enough about the tech side of guitars to know for sure but may it be a possibility?
