Hi -
Bought myself a '52 Vintage re-issue Fender Tele for a my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Great guitar and great tones.
Now though, I've just broken my 5th high E-string in those couple of weeks. I know what you're thinking - "It's the bridge angle" - but no. All of these breaks have been at the 5th - 8th frets when I've been pulling a full tone bend. 4 breaks have been on 10's and 1 on 9's. The 9's were Fender strings, the rest were Ernie Ball coated slinkys.
For the life of me I can't explain why I'm chewing through strings like a mofo. I've never experienced this issue with my LP Std.
I can't see anything sharp on the frets at all.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks,
Z.
