Music Banter - View Single Post - How often do your strings break and which string breaks most?

The only time when I break strings is when I'm changing the tunings on my guitars. Even though I do it pretty frequently breaking a string while tuning down or up is pretty rare and only happens when a string is past it's prime. I play my guitars pretty hard too, lots of bends, hard strumming and picking and I've only broken one string while in the process of actually playing and it was during a fit of angry strumming a la Sonic Youth.
