the strings i broke were 10s. when i get new strings im gonna get them for both of my guitars, probably elixir 10s again for the electric. they were on there for a while. ill probably switch to d'addario exp mediums or whatever.. it depends on whats there.

Well, if my mind serves me correctly, on any set of strings the B is a plain string, and the Elixirs are no exception. There is no difference between a plain Elixir string and a plain (insert other brand) string. Just go spend 50c or whatever on a new B in the right gauge and voila, you're back in action. Make sure to keep a few spare high E's and B's around, because it's not always easy to change a whole set during a show. I've broken 3 high E's in one show before... pretty funny stuff.

i feel your pain, last night i broke my G string (no pun intended). im pissed cause i just bought these strings 2 weeks ago and i havent really played it that much, it was when i was tuning DOWN that the stupid thing broke on me.... :evil:

well, i ordered 2 sets of new strings last night right after the string broke as well as a capo. some nice silk & steel martin strings and another set of martin sp phosphor bronze...

10's are pretty light. I use 13's - D'addario mediums. gotta strum pretty hard to break them and plus they sound better.
good, and you?

i cant use mediums on my 12 string. dude says the tension would be "disastorous" for it.
