Claims20
A guitar restringing device, comprising:
- one or more mandrils configured to rotate about one or more mandril guide axles, wherein
- the one or more mandril guide axles are configured to constrain motion of the one or more mandrils keeping constant tension on a replacement guitar string during a string winding process.
A guitar restringing device, comprising:
- one or more mandrils, each being attached to a mandril guide axle, and configured to move about the mandril guide axle maintaining constant tension on a replacement guitar string during a string winding process, wherein the mandril guide axle and a spring attachment axle are embedded in the guitar neck cradle to result in a more compact design.
A guitar restringing device, comprising:
- one or more mandrils configured to apply constant tension to a replacement guitar string during winding of the replacement guitar string;
- and
- one or more mandril guide axles configured to allow the one or more mandrils to ride on the one or more mandril guide axles such that the one or more mandrils execute free rotation about the one or more mandril guide axles.
A guitar restringing device, further comprising:
- one or more mandrils configured to traverse through one or more guide holes of a guide chuck in a z-direction or rotate about one or more guide axles, to apply constant tension to a replacement guitar string during winding of the replacement guitar string around a tuning peg.
