String winding isn’t long enough for stopbar

[Jambi]

I had a sitar/drone like ringing coming from the G string between the bridge and the fully decked stopbar on a tune-o-matic. I narrowed it down to the winding at the ball end of the string not being long enough to touch where it was breaking on the stop bar. The quick fix was to raise the stop bar so there wasn’t a point of contact anymore. It seems like every guitar that has winding that passes the stopbar is silent.

Has anybody experienced this?

I may be wrong, but don't players use the ferrule of an old string to shorten that wrap so its not bending at that point?
I know that was a top wrap thing, but seems it could still be worth a try?

I think a top wrap would eliminate this specific problem completely, or at the least make all of the strings sympathetically vibrate evenly. I’m thinking that there is a defect(?) in that specific string. 1mm of extra wrap and there wouldn’t be a problem.
