Oh yeah i was going to ask on this subject, should i get a setup done on my new guitar because of it? The only thing is i can't tell if there's a sharp bit or not. I mean i've had a feel around the bridge and there's nothing sharp there. Would a setup be able to fix that if i tell that that i'm having problems with strings snapping? I don't think its my technique as i'm not bending stupidly high i'm bending a whole step and then just applying some vibrato. I really want to get this sorted as it drives me nuts and i'm paying way to much on strings then i should be
This is pretty odd, because I almost never break strings, and I do huge bends, whammy dives and stuff. But everytime I snapped a string it was because I put them on carelessly. I think this is probably your problem, when you put your strings on do they coil nicely around the tuning peg 2 or 3 times? Or is it all scattered and over lapping itself?
If you answered yes to the first question I think you should take it to a tech and get it set up, tell him about your problem and maybe he can figure it out.
