Att Aziah or anyone in the tech department, or even folks here that have had a similar issue.

M-Steel fell on my lap out of curiosity last summer and ever since they have been my favourite strings that I now use on all my guitars. After the M-Steel the Paradigm are my 2nd favourite EB strings.

I'll get to the point. One of my vintage guitars has a wrap around style bridge (see pic) and the G string wrapping it's splitting once it goes over the bridge, however the strings have not snapped (yet) and it keeps a good tuning, regardless of the lack of individual saddles but the part that is splitting it's kind like a needle sticking up and I have to be careful when palm muting not to let it cut my skin. Any suggestions, tips? But in general, were the M-Steel designed to work safely on wrap around bridges?

Thanks

Oh thanks for the offer but for one string it won't be necessary, I appreciate your kindness, it's cheaper for me to get a new set when these wear out than for you to send one to England.

Cheers

Hello,

I experience strings breaking "on a regular basis". Mostly #26 and #36.
Any dedicated instruction how to wrap them to avoid that ?
What is average life duration of M-Steel strings ? Someone with good experience ?

Thanks a lot
