Jazzmaster breaking strings

I agree. The string is breaking at the 10th fret on the high E every time? Get it taken care of, replacing a single fret is not that big of a repair.

I once had a guitar that would break a string on the G string at a certain fret all the time. The fret had wear that, I suppose the previous owner wore down in a manner that made it string hazard. The fret didn't look that bad to me, but I had it replaced and no more probs.

its impossible to tell if its the tenth fret, but its definitely somewhere in that area. a bad 9th fret would snap a string bent at the tenth.

lol well you put an angry face on like you're mad that someone else brought it up, when you're the one who did it.

the phrase 'from the dead' seemed like it could use an angry face.

That doesn't surprise me at all.

All the big guitar manufacturers rave about the tolerances on their CNC machines, yet the

Gibson scale has crept away from their original standard over the years.

It's not any easy thing to do making a perfect guitar, and while machines can do them faster and more accurately, they can make mistakes too, and Fender are not going to bin a guitar that can make them (insert the price of a new AVRI here).
