I’ve had my 61 standard vibrola just over a week and I’ve broken the high E and B string on 2 different sets. It’s very rare for me to break strings, especially at the ball.
I’ve looked at the vibrola on the high E today and I can see some tooling marks/burrs.
Would this have happened during manufacture or is this a thing that happens over time with vibrolas?
If it’s a one off I’ll take it to my guitar guy and get him to smooth them all off. Otherwise if it’s something that needs to be maintained then I’ll buy some files and give it touch ups each string change
