 Strings..
Argh.. Those fcking strings keep breaking all the time :/
I've two BC Rich Warlocks and the strings always breaks after a couple of days.
They are all tuned in the default tone (is there a default tone?)..
Anyway.. Are there any recommended strings for the BC guitars ?
I'd like to know.. The strings are making me poor.. kinda :/

it may not be the strings... it could be the nut or something to do with your bridge.
try nut sauce

lol. nut sauce, is something you put on your nut(the part your strings lie on up by the headstock) and it helps protect against burs and such

I'm not sure what would suit BCs best really.
But I always use D'addario 10s,
perhaps you'd just wanna go up a gauge and try that out?
or, if they're too tight, that may be your problem, so try goinf down a gauge

where does the string break?
is it the same string each time?
what make of strings are you putting on currently?
ly one of the broken strings back into place, where's the break, look round there for any roughness.
