On Jag style trems especially, I have been fighting that same problem for a
couple of years. The problem seems to appear in certain batches of strings that
i have purchased for touring. On our 2002 Euro tour the high "E" would start to
unwind itself at the ball end about the middle of the second song of the set.
The next tour I had mostly all bad "G" strings, and the next tour mostly all bad
"D"strings. I like the sound of the "Chromes", so I put up with it.
Maybe the tailpiece, because it pulls the string straight instead of bending it
over at a right angle, causes the problem. A reinforced wind would be a nice and
needed improvement.

at rehearsal yesterday i did some soldering under the hood and
therefore had to loosen the strings. On turning them back up, the
high E just kept loosening every time, couldn't get it into pitch....
until at a certan point the string came off altogeher... turned out
the winding on the ball end just unwound, and the little ball just
came off... on a .011 d'Addario chromes at 15 euro's a set!
has anyone had this happen before?
