Are you using light gauge or extra light strings...change to a heavier
gauge string.
In my first few years of playing I used to break the high E a lot however I
dont usually break them now however the high E is more prone to
breakage.
Im not saying your a beginner guitarists because I honestly dont know
however changing to a heavier gauge will help.
How long does a set of strings last you before the high E breaks? ____________________

I don't think it's the strings. D'Addario makes some the the finest out
there. There's many things that could cause you to break a string. Make
sure you don't have a bur on your bridge saddle and you have properly wound
the string around the tuning peg. 3-4 loops is best for all strings.

Make sure you dont buy strings where the G string is coiled...that would be
to heavy of a gauge for lead guitar.
Try the light strings and dump the super light...  ____________________

........or you could try Bass strings you know......years go by and they
never even notice....except for the dead tone. Kiddin.
If you happen to have a floating bridge, try not
to pull up the notes too much; my strings (I use D'Addario too) usually
break when i'm doing that.
By the way...if you HAVE to pull up your notes...for practise or
anything...pay your friends (who have floating bridges) a visit and
practise on their guitar. Crud i'm such a low-life
