Fifths tuning, string breakage
I use the Guitar Craft tuning (CGDAEG), and I use an .011 on the
acoustic, and a .010 on the electric. I haven't had breakage problems on
the high G. The A on the acoustic is the string most prone to breakage
in my experience. When it does break, it always breaks at the tuning
machine. I use Sperzel locking tuners on the electrics, which puts fewer
turns around the post, which may contribute to longer string life for
high-tuned strings.
