I must be lucky. I've only broken strings twice in my life. Then again I keep my tension at a normal level, and I use lighter gauge strings.

Light strings are way easier to break.

Have never broken an electric guitar string but I play an Epiphone jazz box. On Acoustic gtr I have only broken like 2 or 3 in many years of playing.

I've only ever broken 3 strings, none on the same guitar. The first one was my first guitar, i think i dropped it, the second wasnt really me, it was my dad trying to tune my bass and the 3rd was my acoustic. Not sure what happened to it, tbh i think it was something to do with the strings being 15+ years old and not having been tuned for 3 of those, then being tuned.

^^just how often do you play guitar, then?

I break strings frequently on my electric, might be because it's easy to do 2 step bends on the higher strings.

I think I break my G string the most though, so lame when it happens.

your dad broke a bass string by tuning it?

that's an example of negligence if I've ever seen one.

For Classical -- nothing beats the Savarez :) - Trusty ol cheap XL D'addario's work fine for the telecaster

me? i play it every day. But the acoustic that broke randomly, i'd just got it from my uncle who'd had it for about 20 years i think.

He doesn't play bass, or guitar. He decided he knew what he was doing and tried to tune it with a guitar tuner (not a guitar and bass tuner, just for guitar)

When I got my first tuning key I was so excited I winded the string right off the guitar.
