In the span of 2 days, I’ve managed to break the E string on two of main jam guitars. Bad luck, or bad technique? I’m betting on the latter lol

    I’d be checking for notches, scratches or burrs at the saddles and making sure you seat the string properly when stringing it. What gauge are they? I haven’t broken a string in 20 years despite doing 2 stop bends regularly.

      Yeah, I haven’t broken a string in about that time as well, then all of a sudden two in a row lol. These are elixir nanoweb 10 gauge
