This problem is totally solvable.

You need to sort out the set up, i.e. action (the distance between the strings and the frets) and the intonation (fine tuning scale length). These things are easy enough to do your self however another issue is the breaking strings. There are several possible reasons for this (like a groove worn in your saddle which gives rise to a sharp ridge which rubs against the string). The easiest way of solving all of these problems may be to get you some Graphtech string savers and take the guitar to your local tech for a set up. The string savers are available on line and will cost you about 30 bucks for a set and the set up will probably cost you about 25 bucks.

Or, if you have a good tuner, you can do it your self. Setting intonation and action have been discussed to death on this site so if you use the search function at the top of the page you should be able to find all the info you need. If after that you still have questions, post em here and we will see what we can do !

best of luck
