A massive problem when it comes to playing. I think my A string is rubbing against the bridge so it is always the first to snap. I only replaced the string about 2 weeks ago. It already happened 2 times.

I'm not sure what to do as I'm still new to these sort of problems, hopefully there's someone here that can help shed some light on this.

I've posted a couple of pictures below to show how it looks like snapped and the level of the bridge.

Really urgent, as I gotta use the guitar almost every week so I can't have it snapping every 2 weeks.

PS: Is it alright if I tighten the springs completely until the bridge touches the body if I'm not going to use it? Cause I rarely use it and sometimes it just screws up my tuning really badly.

Thanks so much.

I bought the guitar from a previous owner, so I'm not too sure why its so high either. I'll lower the saddle and then give it another go.If it still snaps then I guess I'm getting a whole new set of saddles.

Anyone has any idea how much does one set cost?

I can buy from either mahogany or harmony music at TTDI.

Another problem I forgot to mention. There's a light buzzing from time to time. I'm pretty sure the strings are high enough already, is there another factor to the buzzing?

Thanks for all your time.
