I've broken 3 strings in the past week.

Goddamnit, this is getting way too expensive. What the shit is going on with my guitar? I'm playing medium gauge elixer nanowebs. So far I've had a G and high e string break at the nut, and an A string break at the saddle. Fuckin shit.

I've been changing tunings a lot lately, but on these strings in particular, the tuning has only changed 3 times. :roll:

Jesus christ...

Wait until your strings are kinda set in and worn in a bit. Using different tunings then standard bothers them when they are fairly new.

I guess. Problem is I had to change them and put them directly into another tuning, as I was going to perform something at open mic the next night. But I'll keep that in mind for the future.

The ONLY other thing I can think of is playing my guitar in the cold weather. Nothing looks warped, and the action is same as always.

I got really pissed once when I got new strings and they broke when I was stringing. I dunno why I got so mad, but I was raging, haha.

Check to see if there is a sharp spot on the nut or saddle. And maybe buy cheaper strings to cut down on cost.

couple things that helped me cut way down on string-breaking when re-tuning a lot - always play for at least a few minutes before changing it's tuning, and twist the tuning pegs slowly. go up a quarter step, let it set for a couple seconds or so, and repeat until you get to where you need to be.

maybe i'm stating the obvious here, but it helped me.
