Raised B Question

Post by rife33 »

I recently tried to string my 2nd guitar to raised B, but I've already broken two .16 B strings tightening them in the high e position. The other 5 strings went on no problem and sound perfect, but I don't want to waste another B string because I don't see how there's any way to tighten it without it snapping again. Has anyone had this problem? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
