Any string break issues?
FixedLes is too old to go to Point Break.
He does not. UnfortunatelyCall me a nerd, but I would love a set. John Mann doesn't make any, right?
Heh.. don’t think I’ve ever noticed the “reverse hybrid” look with the nickel pole pieces and gold covered pickups before.
Mine breaks strings like nobody's business. It doesn't matter if I lock the screws in or not.The 2016 Paul’s guitar in my avatar has Gen III locking saddles and I severed a 1E string off by over-tightening it on first string change. The ball end fell out of the block but the string was intact and playable.
I replaced the string and gently tightened until it was secure before I tuned to pitch so I could learn how not to break it again. The screw isn’t very tight and almost feels too loose. An allen wrench develops a lot of torque in this instance.
Seems like the design has fallen out of favor as I don’t see it on any new guitars.
No. But I haven't broken a string on any guitar since 1972 or so.Any string break issues?
As stated above, that's never happened to me. Maybe you're a more heavy-handed player?Mine breaks strings like nobody's business. It doesn't matter if I lock the screws in or not.
When I was gigging regularly, two shows is all i could get out of a set of strings.
I do play heavy handed but I do try to dial it back a bit.
