slobluesine Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 anyone experienced broken strings on DB? E string has gone on me after a cuppla months at the peg end, it's sort of unravelled around the tuner shaft?? D'Addario Helicores Quote
bassace Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Shouldn't have gone after two months. Could have been badly installed, for instance, if the tension is being taken by the end of the hole (rather than coming off the circumference of the shaft) it could have guillotined itself. If you would like to pm me with your address I'll send you a string installation guide. My apologies if you already know! Edited April 21, 2009 by bassace Quote
