Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Parker's answer is the place to start if the same string keeps breaking in the same spot!.

If that's not the case, you probably just need heavier strings!. For example, if you're playing 10's or 11's, try 13's instead!.

Here's one example of a good set of 13's: http://accessories!.musiciansfriend!.com/p!.!.!.

If you're routinely breaking 13s, then there's probably something wrong!. Inspect your guitar per Parker's suggestion again, and make sure you're stringing the guitar properly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What is so FUNNY about being such a bad guitar player you keep breaking strings!. I suspect you don't own a TUNER!.!. and you need a TUNER to keep you from over tightening the strings!.!.!.

I have been a professional guitar player for 50 years and I SELDOM break a string, even when I'm practicing with old strings on the guitars!.!.!. if your strings keep breaking, it's because YOU are breaking them!.!. it's not the string's fault!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if the same string keeps breaking in the same spot, you may have a burr on the saddle, bridge, nut, or tuning machine!. inspect all of these for any sharp edges!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
