The Ernie Ball Power Peg will reduce the time you spend on the string changing chore. This electric string winder can easily cut down on your string changing time by half.

Features

The Power Peg drastically cuts down on the time it takes to change strings. You can fully wind or unwind a string in just seconds with the rechargeable battery-powered motor.

Who Is This For?

If you're regularly changing strings, you will love this device. Teachers, performing musicians, and anyone who changes strings frequently will find the time savings invaluable.

If you change strings only once or twice per year, you may not see it as a good value. For occasional use, a quality manual winder may be more appropriate.
