Broke my 3rd string at a gig last night fortunately I had spares. Between practice, rehearsals and gigs I play about 15 hours a week and replace all strings once a month. First time this has happened to me on my four year old Justice Pro-Lite, kudos to Justice Steels, great instruments. BTW the gig was way up north in Maine, way off the grid, about 30 miles from the nearest cell reception and the last 22 miles was on a private dirt road that is used by loggers, took me almost an hour to travel that last 22 miles, gorgeous place.

Yes, You was in the middle of nowhere in Maine and near to the Canadian Border. Spent a week at Pittston Farm. Great Brook trout fishing plenty of bears. And some great food when I was there.
When I was there that road had holes that were scary, You could have lost a small vehicle in some.
Spare strings are important. I carry 3 .011 3rd strings, 3 .017 5th strings, Plus a new full set of strings, In my seat. I have broke 3rd and 5th on stage, One night on stage a 10 string went Flop, The core broke, The winding stretched like a spring and it laid down on the fret board.
