Was just thinking, I know that's a bad start but.
I can't remember the last time I broke a string, am I getting to be a better player, or are strings just been manufactured better.
It must be over 20 years since I broke a string, if I was guessing, can any one beat that.

ancient1,

Reading your post did remind me of the time I restrung a classical guitar, that took me ages, finished the job feeling quite pleased with myself, so finished of by trimming of the excess lengths of string at the headstock, and cut straight though the main string, went from feeling pleased with myself to totally disheartened.

That's the only cause I've had for breaking strings, since I typically fingerpick.
