About Guitar String Winders

Guitar String Winders are an essential guitar tool and a complete gamechanger when it comes to fitting new strings. While winding new strings by hand can often result in a string slipping slightly from the tuning peg, which not only looks untidy, but will also drift your guitar out of tune as you play, using a string winder allows you to execute tight winds around the tuner, resulting in optimum tuning stability. String winders are suitable for use on virtually all guitars, including electric and acoustic guitars, plus most string winders feature a notch that's designed for popping out those tricky bridge pins on your acoustic guitar. There are many guitar and sound accessories that are worth packing in your gig bag, hard care and guitar tool kit, and you'll thank yourself for packing a string winder when the time comes to quickly change a string!

Why Do I Need a Guitar String Winder?

  • Save time fitting new guitar strings
  • Get tighter string winds for optimum tuning stability
  • Also useful for loosening bridge pins out of acoustic guitars
