The best example would be a Stratocaster. I got my first one when I was playing with Tony Williams, and I couldn’t intonate the thing. On the low E I’d get this wobble. But it was just the '''pickup'''s sucking on the string, because when I put a couple of PAF humbuckers on it the problem went away completely.
