Check for binding
Jani, check each string with a tuning meter and make sure that the string is returning true, if not, check for binding and also make sure that you have backed off the nylon tuning nuts to allow for proper tuning. Also check to see that the fingers are not binding and everything is moving freely. Once everything is moving freely and strings are returning true you should have no trouble with string breakage..it may take a few hours time but will be worth the effort..do not except anything less than perfect...the 600 changer should not break any strings if everything is adjusted properly..if any steel would have broken that many strings for me in that short of time I would have returned it..something is not adjusted properly with your Steel.

Jim.
well lets put it this way that you can anticipate a strings breakage. strings have started to sound like a sitar strings and then its a matter of time when they break. and after that when you look on the string above the pickup the string is quite darker. But usually people change their strings often. I dont change so often, maybe once a year. Or when strings start sounding dead.

Just when you think you're getting ahead in the rat race, the rats get faster.

You guys have gone way off topic. Foot pictures. Give Olli a chance to answer my question.

strings
I just changed the strings on my Williams after 4 months or so, I have not broken a Jagwire string in the last 2 years, using Jagwire Herby wallace strings, stainles steel, shobud, carter, williams, fender,Pro 1, I had the strings on the Pro 1 till they started sounding bad.

bid low
Hey Ernie, Please don't bid so high, we are trying to get a bargain..LOL...you know any Steel that breaks the 4th string has to be sold to the lowest bidder....breaking the 4th string is a real no, no.
