Another option is to have a luthier inspect the guitar, he/she may be able to set the guitar up for your playing style, which in turn will save you some strings - and money buying new saddles! I had troubles breaking strings in similar situations, what I had done was:a) Pay close attention to how I was strumming and examine where in the song I was breaking said string. I tried to work on my technique - I'm not suggesting this is the case with your string problem - which helped a lot.b) I went from playing medium-gauge strings (49-11) to heavy strings (56-13). This change had taken some time for me to feel comfortable with the new string-gauge, but once I did, I have not had problems breaking strings - regardless of how hard I hammer the guitar. I hope this helps, and of course I wish you luck with whatever decision you make.Best, Jay http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/efa33a3ecfa6fa2e1e542f90df13b4c3/thread/GRAPHTECH-SADDLES-WITH-TB1000/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#02c0271d7f8ed8de7b7eaa02a4fa22d3 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-Mods/repairsRssFeed/~3/l1aGaiwLDEY/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/f8e50d60501b78dde694f7286e9e52f6/thread/A-few-parts-needed/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#f8e50d60501b78dde694f7286e9e52f6 I need a few parts to complete a TB1000S project:white & yellow shielded ground wire2 500K tone potsa set of either clear or black knobspickguardIf anyone can help, please drop a line at ggates67@msn.comThanks,G http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/f8e50d60501b78dde694f7286e9e52f6/thread/A-few-parts-needed/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#f8e50d60501b78dde694f7286e9e52f6 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-Mods/repairsRssFeed/~3/46Mz-lnZQDY/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/0925278b9fa7f2c6adb281aaf0369c1d/thread/Looking-for-TB1000S-Pickups/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#acac6a8cca1aa1e849bf123481a8f8b9 Thank you for the info and kind words! http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/0925278b9fa7f2c6adb281aaf0369c1d/thread/Looking-for-TB1000S-Pickups/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#acac6a8cca1aa1e849bf123481a8f8b9 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-Mods/repairsRssFeed/~3/xos_bkv6Bxg/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/eaa938c12de01caf5d023ba06ce0351d/thread/Yellow-amp-White-Shielded-wire/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#eaa938c12de01caf5d023ba06ce0351d Does anybody have a source for the wire TB used?

I have to put this project on the back burner for a month or so but am looking forward to contacting Kevin at some point....or if he posts here in the meantime for other bean owners to benefit even better. I have been tempted to put a little rubber cement in there for a temporary fix, since I know that would be easily reversible and might help dampen the vibrating rosewood to aluminum characteristic. Epoxy always freaks me out a bit...such a permanent commitment. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/596f811b4ed3d243bcaa22aa88d55b5b/thread/partially-delaminated-fretboard-HELP/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#b6f61dc3ce78878d25c79e5ce72dcdda http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-Mods/repairsRssFeed/~3/rMACiTM9wwY/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/6a35a862743083d012bc08fa8c9b93fe/thread/TB1000-REPRODUCTION-pickguard-on-eBay/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#4ed6e15a97ada693b5de16f7c0abbcc8 Anyone know the proper way to polish one of these?
