Default Best Stringwinder, Capo, strings and stand, for Classical?

#1
Hi, So i'm buying a Yamaha SLG200NW (Nylon string) and I'm looking for the fastest possible stringwinder, a good capo that does not destroy the neck, and some good strings.

for STRINGWINDER I considered this

Planet Waves Drill Bit PW-DBPW-01


For CAPO i considered this

G7th Performance II Classic




For STRINGS i considered these:

Daddario EJ27N


For the STAND I'm not sure what to consider: does the stand make wear and tear on the guitar if it's not good quality? So far i just considered a cheap one.

K&M 17541


What do you think? Are there better options for a beginner who just wants to practice a lot of guitar, do some finger picking, change strings and maintain the guitar in good health?

Music Nomad string winder is by far the best I've used. Music Nomad makes a drill bit attachement as well, I haven't tried it myself.

I love my G7th performance II capo. It is easy to use, small (doesn't get in the way for my left hand) and the guitar stays in tune (mine is for western/steel string).

String choice is highly personal and subjective, and I don't use a stand so I won't comment on those two.

Congratulations, I love my Yamaha SLG200n, they're amazing guitars!

I put D'Addario EXP45's on mine, I use a G7 capo and you may be interested to know that there is a folding stand by Hercules that fits in the pocket of the guitar's gig bag.



Have fun!

and a pair of the D'Addario EXP45's

For a stringwinder, I use this electric screwdriver

Combined with this peg winder

https://www.musiciansfriend.com/acce...bit-peg-winder

Works perfectly.

I've always had good luck getting this kind of thing from Strings by Mail (https://www.stringsbymail.com/) -- I'm not affiliated.
