It's probably not due to the straight pull on a jag, cause with me it
happened on a strat. still, this shouldn't happen with strings that
expensive, esp since they're ont sold seperatly (at least not here)

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.
