Series 100 Pegwinder Guitar String Winder Review

Broke in less than a year

I replaced my old string winder of similar design that I had and used for over 35 years because it was marking up the finish on my pegs on my new Taylor. This winder was functionally the same as my old one and didn't seem to mark my pegs since it appeared to be a softer plastic. That was good, it solved my problem, and I was happy. This evening about an hour ago I was changing… read more my strings and, Pop! the handle broke off of the winder body. I noticed the the two parts were attached, not by a metal screw like my old one, but by a plastic pin that sheared off. Bottom line, save your buck fifty and buy a better winder.

To get around this you'll… read more have to position the the tuners you're not winding in a way that gives space for this peg winder. Again, this does work great on acoustic guitars and electric guitars with a 3-3 tuner split (like my PRS).

They're like the toothbrushes you get at the dentist - fine if you don't have a better one and you're glad you have it if something happens to your good one. At the very least the have the groove at the end to pull your acoustic bridge pins so you don't go reaching for pliers. Keep… read more at least one of these in your gig bag/case and I promise at some point you will thank god it was there.

It does the job. I've used these since day one of playing guitar, I bought one at the music shop when I bought my first guitar (16 years ago). I have had the SAME ONE SINCE! Still works perfect lol.
