BigRedX Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Where are the strings breaking? That's the place that needs to be looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Its strange that it should single out a particular string. I wonder if it might be playing style... or a particular song which has you digging in too much on the A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 If it's breaking at the bridge, then I would suspect a sharp edge to the saddle. Has the file fixed the problem? Which bridge to you have 3-point or the earlier 2-point and tail-piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
