Man, I don't know what's up with this, but it seems like just about every other time I pick up any of my guitars lately and play for more than 20 minutes I end up busting a string. I'm using .10-.46 D'Adarrio (sic) strings on my Les Paul and they're breakin' either at the E .10 string, until just a few minutes ago when I broke the D! I just put some of that Big Bends Nut Sauce on 'em before strappin' it on, and all the strings were relatively fresh, so I was surprised to snap one like that. D'A's have never given me much problem in past times. But they keep breaking down at the tailpiece, sort of coming unravelled. Weird.
I also had problems with my Strats doing the same thing, breaking the E .10 a few times at the bridge saddle. I put the Nut Sauce on those and the jury's still out on that scene but no breakage after heavy usage and w/ whammy. I use Fender Standard Bullets on my Strats, .10-.46 ga.

Quality of my pickups?
Well I took my new axe (ESP LTD H400) to a guitar lesson, and asked my teacher what he thought. Unplugged, he said it was great, but when he plugged it in, I don't think he was too impressed. (Although, I don't think his setup there was all that good, as his Steve Vai JEM didn't sound too flash either).

In a pickle...
I have a nagging thought in my head regarding the strat I assembled. I love the way the thing plays, but I just can't come to terms with the tone. I know a lot of it is the single coils, and the rest is probably the alder. I'm a big fan of humbuckers and woods like mahogany and basswood most of the time, so the strat was definitely a departure from the norm for me.

How did Slash do that?
I have always wondered, in quot;welcome to the junglequot; just before Axl sings quot;you know where you arequot; slash does some crazy delay/volume swell thing, what is he doing?
