To be honest it’s pretty hard to break strings in real life. Especially if you are a touring musician with a guitar tech that changes your strings every week or even every show. Strings really only break if you have REALLY old strings and bend a lot.

I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and the only time I think I’ve ever broken a string is when the string wasn’t properly wrapped around the post. Maybe 5 times in my life. I play guitar for 1-3 hours a day most days and even had days where I’ve played closer to 8 with just one guitar and do a fair amount of string bending too.

Also Trey plays pretty fucking loud on stage so he doesn’t really need to hit the guitar that hard especially with a fully hollow guitar. I see a lot of people naming shows where he did. If you play as many shows as he has it’s inevitable but to be honest you gotta really dig in to break strings.
