I'm not sure why folks think it's a pain changing strings on a slothead. The only thing I find you have to do extra is cut the string after the first complete wind or so, that way you dont have the excess whipping through the slot as you wind it up to full tension. Not that it probably makes much difference, but i like that there is less angle on the string as it runs through the nut on a slothead.
