UGH STUPID STRINGS!

sooo....my a string just broke. 3 days after a setup and new whammy and crap. it broke by the bridge...can i file my bridge down so it doesnt break the strings, i really dont wanta get a new bridge lol. what kinda strings are the best and will hold out the most?

did you have some one install the bigsby or did you do it yourself either way have some on train to look at it. it could be so many things now that you got things moving

did you try those titanium ernie ball strings in the end. I some what remember a thread about it a while back. If its a sharp bridge, no matter the string type, it will chew its way through eventualy.

if worst comes to worst you can always just buy that bridge with the rolly bits (very poor description) instead of saddles (right word?).

ye i know the bridge ur talking about i just really wana avoid tht since i had so much work on it...and i like my bridge. were friends lol. it just... gets aggressive somtimes lol. umm yeh might the coated strings be better? and nah i forgot to pickup strings so they put on stock enire ball. some one else put the whammy on, but it broke at the bridge.

The whammy doesn't exactly help with that bridge as the extra movement of the strings, so in a way coated strings won't help a great deal. I think sanding the bridge down a tad so it has less of a harsh connection with the string is your best bet without replacing the bridge.

kk i try

Are you using 10's or above. I used to have problems using 9's or lighter with my FR. I don't think I've broke a sting in 10 years since going up to 10's and 11's.

thoughs would be some rusty azz strings if they've been on ur guitar 10 years lol

haha, bleeding fingers my man!!

i use 10s.

oh yeah, this goes up to 11.

No, I haven't been using the same strings for 10 years. I'm just saying since I've gone up a gauge or two I havent broken any strings!

Also, don't try to file them down. Instead, replace the saddles with graphite saddles.
