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

Did you restring these guitars at a similar time?

If you bought these strings on eBay or Amazon there are a lot of fakes around and they break very easily.

Yeah I did. These are elixir nano web, it's entirely possible I got a bad batch.
