I have a 2022 245 SE that I purchased in Oct 2022. Within a month, I added the standard SE locking tuners.
In the last month, I've replaced 4 E strings (D'Addario 9s) because the E string keeps breaking at the tuner. I do tend to notice that this happens when I'm transporting the guitar in the original SE bag that came with the guitar. I consider myself very careful with my guitar when I transport it in the bag, and lay it very gingerly in my car's trunk or backseat. I have not had any issues with the other strings so far.
I've tried not tightening the locking tuner too much, seemingly just enough to keep the string intact, but not too tight.
I have another 2010 Paul Allender SE with the same locking tuners and I've never had this problem, even with transportation.
Any thoughts on how I can prevent this in the future?
