If this is the case for you - I can really recommend wiping the strings and hands with a dry cloth as often as possible, this really prolongues string life. There is nothing I hate as much as spending time on changing strings... >:< There are gore-tex strings to buy (really!) - but they cost quite a bit. /kris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I suggest going to a thicker gauge string (10's or 11's) and get your saddles dressed up. I bend up to 4 frets with vibrato while holding and do not pop strings. When strings get to where they have been stretched to the max, and then you do a fast full bend they will break. I use a new set of strings everyday when I am gigging 4 or 5 nites a week. We normally play (4) 45 minute sets, or (2) 90 minute sets. So normally after this my strings are dead. Good luck, Darrell- You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Set by Dean Markley, and after bending like crazy the only reason they broke was from my heavy floyd abuse, and they're cheap too. Maybe you should try those?

I suggest D'addario string too, I use them(the 9.5-44's) and they are very tough, and sound good. I also use DR's(10-52) and they are just as tough, but sound a little better(probably because of the thicker gauge). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
