High E string BFR JP

[KINGSFAN]

I have broken two high e strings at the last two practices. Never broke a sting on this guitar until now. The string keeps falling flat until it breaks. Any help wold be appreciated

Where is it breaking? Check the saddle and tuner for any burrs. Also check the nut although it really can't get any burrs. Also are your strings from the same pack? Maybe a bad batch.

i had a problem once exactly the same as this, it actually unwinds at the ball end and finally breaks, no one could explain why it happens that way..

but i started using ernieball RPS strings..and its all gone...

If you're sure it's not your guitar (as per the above advice), then contact the EB customer service guys. If there's an issue, they'll take care of you.

As Dhalif said, that's possibly what's happening and RPS or Coated Slinkies will solve the issue. But why that might happen is hard to say. As Beej said, talk to CS. See my sig for the link...

PM Sent to OP. We'll get it sorted out!

Can't beat EBMM CS. Where else does customer service come to you to solve a problem?

Thanks for all the help peeps, gonna put another string in and do a self jam and try to figure out what is going on. This place is awesome !! It might be the ball coming off the string at the bridge.

I had this issue with all 3 of my JP's. Started using RPS recently, we'll see..

But my issue sounds different. It would always break at the ball, and I wouldn't have any tuning issues leading up. Also, they only broke when the strings were relatively worn out.

Never broke a string on any of the 4 JP's I've had.

I had this problem. Brought it to a local tech and had them file down the inside of the bridge/saddle/whatever. Haven't had it happen since! But I'm sure CS will sort you out.
