There is no easy answer to this question. I stopped breaking strings in quantity when I started spending a lot of money on guitars and when I quit drinking or perhaps both. But there are still days when the fuckers just keep snapping out of spite.
Thanks very much Mr. C
The guitar I play is a Gretsch Historic Series (model G3100) acoustic which I believe is a very well made guitar. I think it's just my "Inexperience" of playing the guitar extremely fast in that particular way - the P.Chevron way. When I'm with the band, I don't play too much guitar -- only when I'm recording.
My mandolin and cittern are both "Trinity College" (early editions) and I play them real hard and never break any strings, unless they're getting too old.
And as far as drinking goes, I drink little or nothing "when" recording, or else my mistakes are forever embedded in my recordings. No Thanks, those days are over.
