And if they're way too far forward your intonation starts to hate you, unless you can move the entire bridge or that side of it forward. I dunno, I've never actually owned on of those.

I've only broken one string in my life and that's because-
1. I was playing as loud as was physically possible because there wasn't any amplification
2. It was on a p.o.s. acoustic I bought in Mexico for $30, and it wasn't even worth that.
3. The string was several years old and extremely low quality to start with.
