I did manage to pop my high e string this weekend after only a month and half of having the strings on. But I figured it was going to happen as a lot SRV tunes are heavily focused on the bending of the high e. Just a change from the G breaking was cool in my book.

but when I used to greak them mostly the D on the acoustic - Electric never really was bad for breaking them |

Heh... I just picked up my acoustic and broke the high E during tuning. Hadn't changed the strings in over a year. I guess it's time.
Got plenty more Martins. I'm just way, way too lazy. (And I love the sound of worn, dirty strings. So awesomely lo-fi) |

I love the feel of old worn out strings, the sound of new strings is way too bright as Freebase said, unless on a Classical guitar, I love the sound of fresh nylon stings on a guitar!
My high e breaks every once in a while, string knicked me in the chin once, hurt like a bitch. |

New strings on an acoustic sounds gorgeous to me but I can see that people might feel it's too bright. New strings on an electric need a bit of time before they're sounding their best.
Rarely break strings on my acoustics but so so so many times in the last two years have I broken the A or D string on my electric whilst playing with my band. Once I had to do a whole gig without an A string because it snapped as I was warming up and I can never afford to keep spares on me. |

I'm new to strings, and I'm learning cello, but the school cello I use...the G string sound absolutely terrible. It takes like a year for the bow to finally grip the string. It doesn't have much play on the bridge either. Can't vibrate as well.

I agree. I only change my strings if the intonation becomes a problem due to stretching and such.
