New saddles for my AL

[fbecir]

Something is missing :


And now there is something new :


Normally I never break a string (I change my strings before every gig) but two times, the D string broke (fortunately not during a gig !).
I inspected the saddle, but I found nothing ... thus I decided to try some GraphTech saddles.

Were those EB strings? I am asking that because the last batch I bought were braking like crazy, never happened to me before. I have 12packs with broken high Es and Ds.

A set of EB strings and a set of Savarez. I never had problems with EB strings (and this set was as fresh as the others). Thus I don't think it's a string problem.
I bought this EB set perhaps one or two years ago, but now I use Savarez strings (made in France. I guess you know why Europeans prefer now to buy non US products ...)

That's weird ... especially to have two different strings break consistently.

I would suspect burrs on the saddle, or somewhere the strings are coming in to contact with.
