Hi Fred,
A quick and dirty non-destructive diagnostic. If the mass of 
the vise grip added to the bridge clears up or even changes 
the noise, the noise wasn't the agraffe, string, bridge 
notching, bridge pins, string level, loose screws, casters, 
phase of the moon, or evil spirits. It's because the 
soundboard impedance is too low there. We still have no idea 
if there is any crown at the spot where the noise is, which 
would help with the diagnosis as well.
