whats the specific Black and Decker device you are using to unwind/wind the strings?

@wirthwhilemusic hi, the tool we use is a standard B&D with a mod to increase the RPMs without increasing the torque. Hitachi makes a consumer model as does Ernie Ball.

@TaylorQualityGuitars Product name is B&D 3.6V Cordless Rechargeable Screwdriver

MODEL # 9074CTN A

when restringing an acoustic, should you replace the bridge pins back into the same hole they came from or does it matter?

@TaylorQualityGuitars What attachement do you get for the screwdriver to use on the guitar tuners? Is that something you buy at guitar shop? thanks! Jason

hey Rob great video thanks so much! I've got a few questions though:

1) I've got a NS74ce. As you know, this has a slotted headstock; do the stringing techniques still apply even though you were using steel string in the video?

2) the NS74ce is originally strung with extra hard tension d'addario classical nylon strings. If I wanted to use d'addario folk nylon strings (EJ45) that happen to have black ball ends and are NORMAL tension, do I need to worry about adjusting my truss rod? Thanks!
