I feel like I've won something or achieved a new level. After 36 years of playing, I can count on two hands the number of strings I've broke. It rarely happens, but tonight Holy Sh... it drew blood!! Haha

I have an Ovation 8-string reconfigured A-A (1/2 step down) with a .007 high A.

For the very first time I've had a string break at a fret, 5th fret. So bizarre. Didn't expect a snap to whack my index finger like a whip and draw blood though! Good thing there are a ton of spares in stock.

Drawing blood can't be a common thing... or prove me wrong? Let us all know! I can't be the only one.

btw I feel this doesn't break posting rule #6 ;) as it doesn't mention blood
