I use to have the same problem with my strings.

Were you bending the string like crazy while it broke or not? The reason I ask is because my strings would constantly snap on me until I replaced the "saddles", those are the peices at the bottom of the guitar body where the strings lay. I developed little snags on them and when the tension of the string grew, the thicker strings would unravel, and the thinner ones would snap.

I replaced the saddles for $40, and I can go months without changing them. I haven't had a string snap since.

I don't know, thought this might help :)

the g-string is a very important string in blues and jazz, but when playing my usual (technical death or black) i never touch it
