Hello, 1st post just joined the forum. I recently purchased a McCarty Sunburst 594. Never owned a PRS before. I've had it a few weeks now and really like it. Very versatile guitar, comfortable neck, acoustically very resonating, great intonation all the way up the neck. I have been a Les Paul player for years.
I do have a question, I'm a string breaker usually the 3 high strings but sometimes the 4th string too. Always at the bridge. Not sure if its how hard I play or the sweat on my hands as I rest my palm on the bridge sometimes. I have D'Addario XL1046 on there now. To help with the Les Paul I installed Graph Tech saddles. It does help some but not 100%. I haven't gigged with 594 yet but have already broke the 1st and 3rd strings at the bridge during practice.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions to help this, adjustments, recommended string brands, sanding/smoothing the saddle groove, etc.? Thank you.
