you has a string missing ;) always best to stock up on the high E strings

I know, it broke and I replaced it, then it broke again and I replaced it again. So I'm punishing it right now.

It could be the bridge or the neck could be slightly bent. Either way, for the cost of a pack of strings you could get a guitar tech to sort it out for you :)

Well, this guitar is pretty much brand new. It could be the fact that I'm not entirely sure how to properly string it.

loop the string through the peg at the bridge & then through the machine heads at the top, leaving a good bit of slack, but not the whole string (adds tension to keep it in tune). Then with your thumb over the hole, pressing on the string so it doesn't pop up, keep turning.

It helps having one of those tuners you can peg on the head of the guitar. You tighten the strings up so they're about a note out of tune, then when they're all on tune up properly. They may go out again if they're a new set.

Personally, I won't use anything under 10's. I used to use 13's, but changing string gauge a lot can bend the neck up/down, as can leaving the guitar near a radiator, or a sudden change in temperature/humidity, though not as much as the radiator would. :)

That's exactly how I did it. But I think my dad might have bought the wrong kind of strings for my guitar. It's always that string though. It was totally fine until I let my friend use it for band practice (my boyfriend is in a rock band, he plays drums) and he plays hardcore and snapped the string and I've had problems with stringing it ever since lol

I've had that on a few guitars. They won't be the wrong kind since you can use electric on them fine. I've tried different brands and some do tend to snap on the high E more than others, just grab a few E's :P not a whole new set.

Ah, one of those guys ;) The electric I have now was so battered - some punk rocker had been pulling the neck back to vibrato (stupid as it has a whammy bar) and it warped the neck. I had it straightened and frets dressed & picked up new saddles for the bridge, all fine now :)

For really strumming hard you want 12's-13's, but they'll hurt your fingers more until you get used to them. Mine has 10's but I grew out of that hitting it hard stage (best way is to play the low E and mute the high E, so you don't snap it. For learning on; a classical is the best on your fingers (you don't get blisters).

It could be something like the bridge or neck which is easy to fix, Or you could try a more floppy plectrum. If it keeps happening I'd have it looked at. I've had the same strings on mine for over a year, I just use this stuff to clean them since I only use it in the house :)

Lol yeah he plays hardcore, he had forgotten his guitar for practice and I had just happened to have left my guitar at my boyfriend's house and he asked to use it lol I'll eventually get new strings for it and have a professional string it for me.
