String breakage on Wilkinson Trem: Common?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I break strings a lot and I think it's because of the Wilkinson trem. Last week I broke a string during a gig (thankfully towards the end of the last song), and this was after putting on a new set of strings the night before. Any one else have this problem? Any fixes? Any info?

I haven't had irregular string breakage on my Wilkinson. I did once break two strings during a single practice, but other than that I've never broken one. I chalked that one up to a bum set of strings.

 

You might have a burr in the saddle or something. Does it normally happen on a certain string, or does it seem pretty random?
