In the span of 2 days, I’ve managed to break the E string on two of main jam guitars. Bad luck, or bad technique? I’m betting on the latter lol

    Give the frets a gentle polish if it breaks over a set range of frets. Could be friction wear on the thinnest string. If it breaks up by the nut or any other part then check for burrs. Very light sanding, or (preferably if its gold hardware or expensive) some old, clean cotton rag rubbed over the area should fix that.
