:( Broke a low E string. How the fuck?!@#!@
 

How in the hell can someone manage to break a low "e" string? Especially on 11 gauge string sets!!

And I was just getting my groove on too :/ Just finished belting out Thunderstruck then heading into Fire Your Guns then SNAP!

I think I play too wildly.....

<NHBoy> I broke my G-string while fingering a minor :(
<rycool> ...
<NHBoy> I was trying to play Knocking on Heaven's Door.
<NHBoy> Oh well, time to buy new strings.

hahaha nice one.

Aww.. I didn't know that was possible?

Was the string really old??? Kinda odd but it happens. Usually with brand new strings for me....... Get you a new set of BlueSteel's and jam on man.

I've broken my high E string countless time but low E? ... It must of been rusty/old, of you are using razor plectrums. :1orglaugh

The guitarist in my old band would always break strings... always. It didn't matter which one, but he would break a string at least once every practice and every show. It was unreal.

try popping two strings on your 12 string while hammering out the misfits drunk in your living room at 3 am, talk about ruin the fucking party!

I thought this was a webmaster board?

Hope my questions about guitars and talking about going to The Guitar Center didn't get ya' all fired up! :1orglaugh

When you get hit in the eyeball with a snapping string, you have problems.

I've come close more than once.

here's the thing guys, these strings are like 3 weeks old with maybe only 24 hours play time on them. They're not even oily yet. I think the knives on my bridge may be too sharp or I just rock out too hard. I've been thinking of finding an original Les Paul bridge and tailpiece for my LP for sustain reaons but now I may have to sooner due to my rough playing lately. I used to play quite softly but now I just go nuts. Not beating the thing but still, playing hard. When I'm playing my strumming/picking hand is going nuts right between the two pickups.

I remember once when I broke a abss string, it snapped back and sliced my finger open. Was not due to playing though, I slammed my headstock right through my bass cabinet.
