Yeah man I feel ya on that. I used to break strings like a mofo, then went through a long time of no band and started to break them never. With Flux I started breaking more and more and now I am making a conscious effort to not mash the hell out of the guitar but it still gets away from me from time to time. Currently my string breakage free streak is at 2 shows.
Last show I caught myself smashing the shit out of it and backed off. String breakage happens when you are really into it and is kinda a buzz kill.
I forget who asked but I will def post a link to demo here when I get the new looper.
Also, Parker, all tone pros style bridges?
Have you tried a roller bridge? that helped a lot on my guitar.
