Probably why I never liked Tele rhythm pickups!

And why I made my Tele rhythm without the cover. It's a 9k that really sounds great without it -- clear as a bell but rude when you dig in. (I also radiused the mags...)

If you make Tele rhythm pups without the cover,  
you might think about wrapping them with string like the lead ones. I had a 1961 Tele once, it sounded awesome without the cover, but I got to strummin' one night and the high E slid under the top bobbin plate and pulled it off all the way to the G. Totally ruined a real preCBS pup too. I should have kept it, if I knew I was going to wind I would have.

I tape them pretty good and then pot 'em. No problems so far, but definitely some good advice to keep in mind.
