How can you set up a guitar string to break at a certain time?

28th November

I’m gonna play a live performance eventually of an original song and I want to break a string near the end, while playing it, but I want it to be set up, and I’m not sure how I could do that. Help?

Also, I can’t just tighten it up so it breaks easily, because I need to be able to play it in standard tuning.

Why the hell would you want to do that? It’s really not that cool to break strings during a set, it’s annoying as hell. If you’ve got a guitar with a floating tremolo it’s going to go out of tune. Even if you’ve got a stop tail or string through body and you have more songs to play, that string is going to give you some tuning issues for a few songs.

A pick won’t break the strings, your pick should fail before your strings will. Generally strings break due to being really old, in which case they weaken significantly, there is a sharp point on the saddle, or there is something going on at the tuning machine. Possibly the nut can cause it too. I still don’t know why you’d want to do that.

Anything to make my guitar setup sound better?

28th November

Well as I’m sure you may know, christmas is coming up and being a young musician, I am always looking for ways to improve my sound.

I play a Peavey XXX head and cab, and am looking for some ideas as to what I should ask for. Pre ampss maybe? Effects pedals? I’m not sure, but I am open to anything.

Thanks!

get the line 6 spider 3 amp. i have the 75 watt. it has many different settings, and sounds already made saved as presets. Just go on the line 6 site, or look it up on youtube. even better yet, goo to uitar center and test it out. its a great amp.
