A Excal stringing aid will work just fine, they are adjustable for any CB. The way you bend the CB to put on a string with out it is something I have yet to do. I know there has to be something I am doing wrong when trying it, but have yet to see it. I feel like I am about to bust the CB or my gut when trying it. Have a DVD that shows a guy in his late forty's or early fifties doing it like is a toy, makes me mad every time I see him do it! Like smoke said, more info may help.
