hi, any acoustic players with an elixir 3rd string breakage problem? im
using nanoweb phospher bronze lights and mediums on my 2 working
acoustics,.both in perfect setup,.both breaking 3rd 24 gauge and 3rd 26
gauge ,and no 2 breaks are in the same area along the string,.when i
replace with non elixir [uncoated ] cheap 24 or 26 these 3rds dont break
but go dull very quick ,.which is why i have to use elixir in the first
place,.i seem to have toxic fingers and can kill a standard set in around
half a gig,.i have tried all the elixir clones and they dont work ,.but its
frustrating that elixir admit that the 3rds have a higher pressure [ 7
pounds more] than the rest of the set due to the core [13 gauge for med]
being raised one and a half tones above normal ,.they say that this is to
keep the 3rd treble tone matching the rest of set,.i have suggested that
they should sacrifice a little bit of treble for a more stable 3rd that
might last as long as the other 5 strings,.they have just ignored my emails
of late but im gonna keep this up,.first of all i love elixir apart from
the 3rd problem,.but why should i pay good money for strings and on the
first gig have to replace one with an inferior cheaper string that dosent
break,.why dont they take that on board and sort out this obvious
problem,.why dont they GOOGLE "elixir 3rd string breakage",.so if you have
this problem please let elixir know about it and maybe we can get them to
change the 3rd design,.after all its the people that actually purchase
these strings that should be listened to and not the famous users who get
all the strings from elixir that they want FOR FREE while we the financiers
of GORETEC have to keep on buying and gigging,.please e mail them,.you
might even get some free strings,.thanks for listening,.dobrocop.

| I'm 100% positive it's not the string or brand of strings? Sounds like you
have a sharp edge on your bridge. ____________________
