Broke the G string on my guitar

[Grachi]

It snapped at the bridge...

What does that usually mean? My guess is the bridge pin was put in at a slight angle, but it snapped right at the saddle, like maybe i didn't give it enough slack when stringing it.

In any event, they were brand new strings only 3 days old
Elixirs too...

Welcome to my club. Except I wouldnt worry about it until you've gone through six strings in two weeks.


I'm still a bit miffed about that.

you know strangly enough i have never broken an elixer string, they always end up comming unravled though, like the metal wrapping comes loose and the string goes really loose. That is weird though, sometimes tthough you just get a bad string, like the pair i have on now. for some reason my G string is rattling (it's actually buzzing on a fret...). I got freaked out thinking my guitar was f-ed up but the guy said that it was just a bad sting and that happens. Who knows, maybe you where playing too hard. In an open tuning by any chance?

If it keeps happening with the same string at the same spot, then take your guitar to a shop and get them to file down the saddle.

I was playing the jam from Lie in Our Graves, so it possible I was playing too hard. This is fhte first time it has happened I got the guitar back at the end of July.
