Hey guys,
so I got this new mainland mahogany tenor slotted headstock cutaway w/ pickup blemish two days ago and its been great except for some buzzing/rattling along the C string from around the 2nd-5th frets and occasionally on the E string around the 1st-5th frets. The other strings don't seem to buzz.
Here's a sound sample of what it sounds like:

if you listen, you can hear the rattles when I pick some strings.
What do you guys think might be the issue? I changed the stock strings to Living Waters, and I changed the C string a day later again to a different Living Water string to check it it was just a bad string. The buzz seems to have stayed.
Do you think the strings might just need time to stretch? Will it go away? Should I humidify it more?a Should I send it back to mainland or just bring it to a guitar center or somewhere else? Could it be a problem with the electronic pickup wires? Pretty sure it's not because of any excess string ends. Should I try putting a piece of paper under the bridge slot?
I really wish I didn't have this problem because the uke is perfect other than the annoying rattle.
Thanks!
