Welp, I have a cheapo Teisco ET-210n that I picked up at a Pawn Shop for $40. I love the feel, tone and everything about it.

Only problem is my high e strings keep breaking. It's always the same. They'll be on for a few days, and I'll be playing (not even on the high e) and then bam, the high e string breaks at the ball end. (literally the ball snaps off, the rest of the string is completely intact)

I have no idea what the problem is. I want to say it's my cheapness in buying really cheap Fender strings, but I have them on all my electric guitars and none of them experience this problem, even if I bend the high e string as far as it will go. Something probably needs filed down?

I'm just so confused here. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.

(p.s. wasn't sure if this warranted a new thread or not so I just posted it here to be safe.)
