Re: Breaking strings like a pro
As you can see below, I own two Breedloves but I've never broken a string on either of them. I've broken them on a Morgan Monroe and a Kentucky but never on a Breedlove.
One of those breaks was the result of a faulty nut (and I can't remember what the other problem was).
Having said that, I still carry a string winder and at least one extra set of strings at every gig.

The older I get, the less tolerant I am of political correctness, incompetence and stupidity.
