<p>Hi Tony, with respect I'd recon always check the basics other wise how do you find the cause of the problem. Process of elimination.</p>
<p>I can only suggest checking the basics as I think that's where the problem lies.</p>

<p>If cheap eBay strings are used I'd be having a close look at them. And are the strings you are using also D G B E from the 6 string set. I have found that if a string is gonna break in a new set its always the "G".</p>
<p>Contact points would be: Tuner post hole, string trees, nut, bridge/saddle and tail piece. Sometimes coupled with a steep break angle.</p>

<p>First what is your bridge and nut materials? Is there anything that could be sharp there.</p>
<p>What are the gauges of each string? Is your third two light to be tuned to a B?</p>
<p>Are you using a tuner or a recorded song to tune with?</p>
