hey guys...i mite be restringin my guitar wrong here but i do one string at a time startin with my low E finally as im jus bout gettin it tuned snap it goes...twice tday this has happend on both bronze and steel strings.now is this cheap strings or am i doin summat wrong? swampy

is this your thinnest E?

Even the cheapest strings should not do this. I would take a guess that there is a rough part of metal on the bridge that needs filing somewhat. This is the only thing I can thing of that would cause this.

Check for any rough parts and see.

Good luck
