C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply - Your Source for Tuners, Fret Wire, Fretting Guides and More!

Posted by Ben "Gitty" Baker on September 3, 2009 at 12:37pm

I have moved the most up-to-date content regarding my products over to a dedicated C. B. Gitty group here on CBN. Be sure to check out/join that group if you want to stay up to date on all of the great products at even better prices that we carry.


As always, you can get directly to my storefront site using the following link: http://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/

My goal with all of this is to be able to give you better prices than you could get ordering the same thing directly from StewMac/LMI/etc. I believe that the instrument building/repair market needs more competition, and my goal is to provide that competition. Thanks for the business everyone, and happy building!

    Hey folks, just wanted to post an update regarding the tuners: the latest I have heard from the factory is that the order is due to be completed tomorrow, June 2, with shipment to occur very soon thereafter. So I hope to have them in stock and available by the middle of this month. It has been quite a saga to get this tuner deal going but once I get them stocked I expect it to be much smoother. Thanks for your patience!

    C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply now has PIEZOS in stock!

    After long wait and much ado, I finally have piezos in stock. These are 20mm disks with pre-wired ~2" leads, great for most any cigar box guitar, foot stomper or other home-made instrument. Your cost is $10.79 shipped to the US for 1 dozen ($12.79 shipped international), with additional dozens only $9.29 shipped ($10.29 international). This is your chance to try electrifying your next build, or adding a pickup to your favorite build! Mouser Electronics' price for this same product amount with shipping would be $13.95!

    BULK 1LB FRET WIRE LOTS BACK IN STOCK
    *********************************************************
    Just a quick note to let you know that I have my one-pound bulk lots of the Medium/Higher nickel-silver fret wire (same as StewMac #152) back in stock. My price on this one is cheaper than you could get one pound from StewMac for, and this is a perfect size for CBGs. So if you are doing a lot of building, check this out! No better price out there that I know of, and fast shipping.

    C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply (http://www.cbgitty.com) is the place to go for all of your fret wire and fretting guide needs.

    Hey folks, just an update to let you know that I have (finally) added my new fret wire size/style. StewMac calls this stuff "Medium/Higher" (their #152), because it has a wider and higher crown than standard medium-gauge fret wire. This higher and wider crown allows for more dressings/recrownings between fret replacements, which means you get more life out of your frets. It is also pre-radiused on a 9" basis. Best of all, my price is HALF of what you'd pay for the same amount of it from StewMac direct, and that includes shipping. Click on over to my product page to check it out!

    0152-LB_fretchart.gifEarly next week I will be adding yet another new style of fretwire for my product line. This wire is equivalent to StewMac's "Medium/Higher" #152 wire, with a bit more width and height than the standard medium/medium wire. This allows for more fret dressing and filing/recrowning in between fret replacements, so you get more longevity from your frets. The best part is that this is the first wire I will be able to offer in 1lb lots, at a price at least 10% cheaper than StewMac offers it. I am excited about this first venture into bulk fretwire sales... stay tuned to my Online Shop for when this product will be listed. I will also be selling it in standard 6-foot lots as well, at a price well below what it would cost you to get 6' from StewMac.

    Within a week or so I will be adding Gold and Stainless Steel fretwire, both in a "medium" gauge, to my list of products. Stay tuned!

    Just wanted to note that I have added JUMBO fretwire to my offerings. This is some big stuff (StewMac Item #150), and is great for those of you who want to do interesting things with note-bending on your CBGs, or if you are looking to build CBG bass basses.

    Thanks folks, glad you were able to make use of it!
