Probably cause when I play riffs, Im a bit aggressive sometimes, especially with downpicking, I abuse the hell out of them strings You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I broke like 3 strings in one week when I realized that they don't break in the middle but near the tuning pegs - at the nut Other then that I usually never break a string You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thing was, I never broke the high strings, I was always breaking the thick strings >_>. When I'm stretching them out, I guess I bend them too far, and the base of the string (with the ball end) snaps off... Doesn't happen anymore, though.

When I started using DR strings on my fender, the first 3 sets got me a broken string, but now everything is perfectly fine again (I guess it was because I was changing my action, intonation etc so often and that's now settled ).
