I used to hat it but I can do it with the minimum of fuss now so it doesn't really bother me. I like the feeling and sound of new strings though.

It's nice cleaning it all and stuff before putting the new ones on that I like. Feels so much better afterwards.

I like restringing guitars...I do have a winder too.

I have a winder and I use the pin extractor bit on my acoustic bridge pins.

wait...why would you even spend 1cent on a stringwinder ?
Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2009 10:43 pm
i personally like string winders. save a shit ton of time.

i have a string cutter and clipper, it was a gift from my uncle.
it's very nice, even though i can do it by hand.
re-stringing and cleaning my guitars is very relaxing.

Saves time if you break a string at a gig and want to restring quickly. It was on offer with a bunch of strings. It also saves a load of time restringing a 12-string......kim wrote:wait...why would you even spend 1cent on a stringwinder ?

I don't mind the string change. I just don't like the part where the string ends stab the shit out of my fingers. Thank gods for the fender slotted tuners, so easy.

<3 string winders AND stringing guitars. well, love is a bit strong i guess, but winding them with the crank is neat-o.

I used that same edition's string winder only this evening; I find it dead handy, for the rapid removal of old strings, and because the pressure you get when winding the strings on is far more consistent (and quicker) than manually winding them on; this makes life loads easier on Gibson-style pegs (where I wind once over the string, then the rest under), and I reckon the trem returns to tune more reliably if your string windings are minimal and smooth.dezb1 wrote:Mike wrote:I am the only person on this website that actually enjoys restringing a guitar.
No, I find restringing quite relaxing, but I do use a string winder (That I got free with a copy of total guitar in 1997).

i've one ernie ball one i got for free with a strings purchase years and years ago (i wanted to try enrie ball strings...they sucked), when i first had it i used it, but now i don't bother anymore, i can restring quick enough and don't do it often either. slotted tuners are great though i agree. and to cut the strings i use whatever i got like pliers or even a nailclipper or scissors lol i don't gig as a guitarist or bassist anymore so it's not like i have to replace a string in a rush.

neither is removing a cap and placing it on the back of the pen before you write, but those clicker deals sure are neat. plus, you take them apart and make cannons out of them.Mike wrote:Because it is not a time consuming task that needs a tool.Doog wrote:+1

winders hardly save hours of back-breaking labor. they just make something on the tedious side go a little quicker and only cost you a couple bucks for the convenience. *shrug* maybe my thumbs and forefingers are just worn out from all that XBOX360 GAMING? =P

What? Really?
Why would you mess around with turning the peg when there's a $1 tool available everywhere that makes it take half as much time?
I feel like I do a far neater job with the winder, as well.

jesus dudes it's a string winder.
when i had one it made me change strings maybe two minutes faster.
if that difference matters then buy one.
it it doesn't then do whatever, buy one or don't.
as long as the fucking strings are around the peg and they go TWANG when you hit them does it really really matter?
