Guitar strings,

[John F]

Pretty obvious that bend angle where the string touches the wood is the problem. You can see all 3 of the visible strings starting to open up. So you or a luthier could file a groove in the bridge block to lessen that sharp bend angle where the string touches the rosewood bridge block. I think the issue will affect any string put in there.

Yes, it's the wood that poses the problem.
Interestingly enough, I don't have much knowledge of classical guitars but I haven't often seen a bridge like that!

As a choice of guitar strings, I always use Savarez! packs a lot of punch!

That sharp dive into the wood is begging to chew up the winding on the string. There is to much tension on a nylon string to survive that.

Yes definitely a sharp edge on a soft string material, I’ll look closer when I restring it,,again

Agree..

I think the right touch up would be very beneficial knowing what’s happening. I’m looking into prospective luthiers

I’ve been reading about them will try a set after the ones coming get a chance to perform

Thanks
