Planet Waves Pro-WinderPublished on 02/21/10 at 21:21
The Planet Waves Pro-Winder is an all in one guitar string winder and cutter. Most winders out there do not contain any sort of cutting device, which is really the main attraction with this model. It is a very compact piece of equipment, and all of what it does is very self explanatory. Having some sort of a string winder around is definitely a good idea for all guitar players out there, as it just makes the process of changing your strings all that much quicker and easier. The Pro-Winder is built well and will definitely last a while as long as you don't lose it or treat it poorly. The cutting portion of the Pro-Winder cuts through your strings easily, making quick work of the ends...…

The Planet Waves Pro-Winder is an all in one guitar string winder and cutter. Most winders out there do not contain any sort of cutting device, which is really the main attraction with this model. It is a very compact piece of equipment, and all of what it does is very self explanatory. Having some sort of a string winder around is definitely a good idea for all guitar players out there, as it just makes the process of changing your strings all that much quicker and easier. The Pro-Winder is built well and will definitely last a while as long as you don't lose it or treat it poorly. The cutting portion of the Pro-Winder cuts through your strings easily, making quick work of the ends of your strings that you don't need. Having both of them within a single product is a really good idea, as I often find myself struggling to find a wire cutter on hand after I have changed my strings. Planet Waves is one of the leaders out there when it comes to guitar accessories, so if anyone was going to put out a product like the Pro-Winder, I'm not surprised that it was them. While the Pro-Winder will definitely cost you a few extra bucks when compared to the cheap, plastic, more traditional string winders out there, for me it is worth it to have the cutter on the other end, as it seems the price of this would be just about the same as if you were to buy a string winder and a wire cutter separately. This definitely isn't a necessary accessory for your guitar, but it can definitely make changing your strings that much easier, which is worth it for me as I like to do it as quick as possible. With a cheap price like this, ordering one of these up was really a no brainer, and I have been using it to help me change my strings on all of my guitar ever since...

why?
as to make the ankles of a folk guitar: ok

to turn the mechanical ok BUT the PROBLEM just screw: in fact, the more mechanical turn
over the machine screw is unscrewed, so must constantly tighten the
it is painful!

Not really sure this time ...

I like the Planet Waves brand (sub-brand of D'Addario in fact): they are generally incidental music quality, innovative, practical, aesthetic and strong!

But this time they did not totally convinced me ...

Of course, the object is solid, and no lack of aesthetics. It also tries to practicality by offering several innovative features, turner and mechanical cutter strings or functions logically linked by the same process: changing strings.

However, I can not find the well thought out ergonomics: I can not find my bearings on the machine for any of the two functions. When I run the mechanics of guitar, the buttons tend too easily leave their homes, and must be reintroduced each...…

Of course, the object is solid, and no lack of aesthetics. It also tries to practicality by offering several innovative features, turner and mechanical cutter strings or functions logically linked by the same process: changing strings.

However, I can not find the well thought out ergonomics: I can not find my bearings on the machine for any of the two functions. When I run the mechanics of guitar, the buttons tend too easily leave their homes, and must be reintroduced each time in the unit.

This may be the case with other similar systems, but I think that ergonomics better implementation would have a better handle this problem.

Then the function to cut the strings is not very practical either: I always look where I have to take because it is not clear, and more, the opening of the clip is very hard, and strong Long before inserting the cord to cut.

Well, after that, the cup is no problem! Phew!

I'd say this function to cut the cords significantly increases the device without being a very practical side. The clamp is too hard and needs too much operational opening. Moreover, its operation is not obvious, because the place where shooting is not very noticeable, in my case, anyway!

Finally, we may grant an accessory excellentre fabricaiton quality, and look attractive. And it actually does what it is supposed to!

But it is not very practical to use, for any of its two functions. Of course, he assumes both to the end, but it's not very ergonomic.

If I had to make a choice, I would probably try something else, was only to see if other gear better keep the buttons in their homes, while turning the crank.

It's not a bad purchase in itself, but it is not really great in some ways. Or maybe it is I who am not very good with the cranks!
