Sounds to me like this is the most likely culprit. Wear on slides and needle tubes is not usually an issue on the Gen 1.
I used to use a custom set of strings, copied from Stevie Ray Vaughan's set up. Top E was an 11! Now use 10 gauge cos they were ripping my fingers up. So what gauge is needed? :lol
