They break at the tuning pin when you are tuning. They break at the
agraffe/capo during playing. When they break at the hitch, there is a
problem with the wire, usually rust. Since this is a newer problem I suspect
rust is  not the issue, it was a manufacturing problem that weakened the
wire and it is now showing up. Call Boston, talk to tech  support, ask for
their opinion, but push to have them replace the set.

I've got a client who's son is breaking bass strings (2) so far. What is
causing them to break at the hitch pin rather than the tuning pin?
