Here`s 2 of my saved sellers from ebay. Both have good deals on corners for boxes. Accent Factory has more fancy ones, the bottom link has more of the plain ones which come in both brass and silver. Those I have ordered and look great, you get 24 in a pack.

Is there any difference between guitar strings and banjo strings or is it the guage of the strings, the scale length or the makeup of the body?

James,

Looks like a nice site full of good stuff, but you post probably belongs on the "Classifieds and Swap" forum......

Unless of course you want to send out some of those kits and DVDs for beta testing.... ;-)...... if so, I'll take one of each.... heheheeheheheheheheehehe

the best,

Wichita Sam

If your serious about doing alot of builds with frets on, a wise investment would be a fretting combo from Stew-Mac. I`ve had mine for over 20 years now. Best money I ever spent!!

Shipping not to bad $16.85 total got here in 3 days. I am very happy with them all tools I got are great way better than anything I got from HD well worth the money. The fret nippers are a blessing what took me 3 hours now takes me 30 min and the fret bevel "wow" that thing rocks nice clean edges. It's expensive but way better than a 3 corner file and a lot faster. The saying is true you get what you pay for.

Shawn, how are the StewMac Shipping charges?

Just got my shippment from stewmac. Tuners / bridges / fret wire by the pound and fret bevel. I also got the fret nipper that thing is great saved me about an hour of cutting each one just lay the fret wire down flush on one end and nip done. I bought one at HD but after one neck the thing had chips all along the cutting edge I am so glad I got this tool.
