Gunno	Re: More creeping wire syndrome Wolfe , I was thinking about this for a while , when I saw that Andy had come to the same conclusion. Yes Andy , I agree with you , it must be the bobbin , and probably that the two outer-most poles are the main problem. Wolfe , if it were the winder it probably would happen every time you wind , not just occasionally. And maybe it's harder to get the angles right in a Tele bridge pickups (don't know myself , never done a Tele bridge pickup , only the Tele neck pickups ). Personally I think , getting the bobbins right is the most difficult part in making pickups. So I follow Jason Lollars advice to be extra , extra careful when I make them. Plastic bobbins must be a relief in that sense. Wolfe , if it's not the bobbin , man , you're HAUNTED! WARNING ! - this is just opinions from an amateur winder from Sweden , Wolfe and Andy you're the pro's. Gunno
