Timeline for My high E string broke one week after replacing my guitar strings. Could that be an installation issue?

| Jun 23, 2020 at 15:10 | comment | added | phoog | Unsolicited English lesson, with apologies if it is unwelcome: "broke after one week of replacing" means that you replaced the string repeatedly over the course of one week, and then it broke. An analogous sentence might be "my shopping bag broke after a week of using it to carry bricks." I assume you mean that you replaced the string once and it broke a week later. If I am wrong, please revert my edit. | |

| May 2, 2012 at 16:05 | comment | added | Skippy Fastol | Sorry the "high" string was already in the title :). I would definitely put the break on a flawed string. Strings just do not break like this. Especialy in the middle ... where the bendling radius is at its lowest when you press or pull it. | |

| May 2, 2012 at 16:04 | comment | added | Hassan | Sure: that week I played about an hour or two a day. The string broke near the thirteenth fret (where the bend is), and it was the high E string. | |

| May 2, 2012 at 12:15 | comment | added | Skippy Fastol | Could you please mention : - how many hours a day you play - where exactly your string broke at (near a fret ? at the end ?) - which E string is it about ? The 1st or the 6th ? | |
