astrozombie Hey guys, I'm new to the forum.My 66 reissue keeps breaking e strings at the ball end. what gives? how do i avoid this?
chunkachunka Seems to help if you position the ball end so that you can see through the ring from side on. Also check for burrs in the socket.
terjag I use 9-46's with no problem. How hard do you hit the strings? Do you use a super heavy pick? I use tortex yellow med (72mm) Some people say use only Fender strings.
AngryHatter Check the saddle. It's got a burr or it's very sharp?How about the break angle over the bridge?
