I would have to say it's the A string for me. I would choose Ernie Balls, never really had good luck with them. I've had a few sets unwind. I haven't broken a string in years, but I change my guitars out pretty regular. Is it sad I change guitars quicker than strings? But on the topic, I've broken the B/E strings a lot with a fixed bridge, never had that problem on a tremolo setup tho. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I always broke strings at band practice more than any other time. I guess it was down to the heavy handed rhythm playing ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I researched why, and found that I had my les Paul stop tail set to low, it was set so low that my strings were touching the back of the bridge. I raised it so the strings just barely clear the bridge and haven't broken a string since. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
