I agree that replaceing more than one treble string is way too much extra work.Correct me if I am wrong,but if all three strings of a unison are replaced then one string of the neighboring unison will also be replaced.So in order to get the same of effect of "relatively" stable unisons,you will end up replaceing three treble loops when just one broke in the first place. If I want stability and the string breaks around the coil,I tie the one string,follow up a week later and I'm done with it.
