I am a little nervous but not completely convinced that it was the Pyramids that caused the problem. The Rickenbacker message boards refer to this problem as something that has happened quite a bit with tailpieces of this vintage (80s-90s), and only on 12-strings. I tuned the guitar a whole step down (Dd/Gg/Cc/AA/DD) though, just in case, and I probably will just go with standard Rickenbacker strings when I switch em out next. If anyone else has had this problem, I'd love to hear from you. My <a href="https://www.rickenbacker.com/forum_view_thread.asp?forum=General_Forum&thread_name=''R''%20Tailpiece%20Snapped??&thread_id=3691&Page=1" rel="nofollow">talking about Pyramid strings on the Rickenbacker boards</a> got censored -- first they changed "Pyramids" to "Tetrahedrons" and then when I added a comment to say that it had happened, and said "shape referrred to by the Eqyptians" they changed "Egyptians" to "Egelmanns". WTF? Update: new tailpiece received and on, with the same exact strings (none of them actually broke) as before.

WTF?
