I have a new PRS ce22 and Ive broken 3 B strings, what could be causing this?

a spur in the saddle, how could I correct this problem?

Just have a tech take a look at it. Most likely it'll be a quick and cheap fix.

I have a CE24 and have Graphtech Stringsaver saddles on it.

The are pretty useless on this axe but that said I don't think I have ever broken a string !

I'm surprised to hear that a PRS has a problem like that, but SPL has it right. It should take a tech a couple of minutes to put it right. No biggie.

you could take it to a tech, oryou could use sandpaper, sand down the saddle, maybe there is a little piece of something sticking up.. rubbing across the string. Dont use realy rough sandpaper, you might take to much off.

Where is the string breaking? at the end, middle or top? If its at the end, it mostly liking something rubbing.
