Hi,
A while back someone posted a link? On SRV's gear and what his tech did
with the strings and string breakage on SRV's strats.
Most of the time the angel of the string causes the breakage. What SRV's
tech did was dead simple, he took a pair od strip pliars and striped
some electric wire (the one with the plastic jacket) this hollow pastic
tubes were then cut to small lengst and pulled over the strings, then
the plastic jackat sat over the string and in the angle that causes the
string breakage. (behind the saddle) It seams to keep SRV from breaking
strings.
This does not cover the saddles, but it might be a start. However I
would take the guitar to a good tech and have it looked over.
I find the Strat trem and bridge system a bit more complicating then the
Floating trem, when it comes to breaking strings.
There are also different types of strat saddles, perhaps a change might
do the trick.
