Tbird strings

[thunderider]

My tbird seems to be breaking A strings,any ideas?? I looked theres string marks on the saddle of the bridge could this be the problem or the nut needs to be dressed ??

Where are the strings breaking? That's the place that needs to be looked at.

Its strange that it should single out a particular string.
I wonder if it might be playing style... or a particular song which has you digging in too much on the A?

Its breaking on the bridge so iv ran a file over it incase its a burr,my playing style is pretty heavy but my strings on my rickenfaker have been on for neely a year snd no probs!...i play kinda lemmy style!!

If it's breaking at the bridge, then I would suspect a sharp edge to the saddle. Has the file fixed the problem? Which bridge to you have 3-point or the earlier 2-point and tail-piece?
