Bah! Tried everything. Took the strings off and totally dismantled everything. Nut wasn't loose, swapped tuning pegs around, took the bridge apart, pickups are solid. I've got the action and intonation set perfectly. It sounds like the truss rod is vibrating inside the neck.
It makes this noise if I play open d and g together. I'm starting to notice it happen now with just the A string. If I play the dissonant combination of G# on the D string together with the open G it feels like the guitar will fall apart.
There's a 3-year guarantee on it, so I'm sending it back. Hey, it's really made me appreciate dear old Telecaster.
