Hey folks, I just added a new group specific to my shop and products. You can view/join it at http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/cbgitty. I'll still be posting updates here, but they'll be shorter so I am not spamming the heck out of the main comment wall, and the greater detail will be in posts in this new group. Feel free to come on over and check it out!

I have added a few new items to my store this week, some that are "trial" products that I am testing to see how they sell, and a couple of products that I intend to carry permanently.

First, the "permanent" product: I have found a good source for clear glass vials in the style of old medicine vials, that are great for use as slides on diddley bows, lap steels, and even standard slide guitars. They are 1" outside diameter by 2 1/4" long. Inside diameter is right about 3/4". I am selling these at a good low price ($2.99 ea) so stock up!

Now, for the "trial" products:

1) I have found a good source for digital chromatic clip-on tuners. These have a nice back-lit LCD display that changes from red to green as you approach a true pitch. These are great for cigar box guitars and other hand-made instruments, as they take all the guesswork out of tuning. They pick up tones either through vibrations picked up through the clip, or via a built-in mic, so they can even be used for wind instruments. Best of all, the price is lower than any comparable digital tuner I know of on the market! I am guessing that these are going to be a good seller and if that proves to be true with the few I got as a sample, I will be ordering a much larger quantity and adding these to the list of regular stocked products!

2) I have found a good source for a variety of food-grade metal tins, and have gotten 3 different styles/sizes on a trial basis. I have a rectangular hinged style, pretty much identical to an Altoids tin, as well as an 8-oz flat round tin (4" diameter) and a 5.2" flat round tin (same diameter as a CD). These are unpainted bare tins so they can be painted/decorated as needed. These tins should make great resonators for diddley bows and cigar box guitars, and I am able to offer them at very affordable prices!

Check out www.cbgitty.com/cubecart for these and more great products!

Some more updates from C. B/ Gitty Crafter Supply:

1) Economy Tuners are Sold Out! Don't worry though, more are on the way and I hope to get shipping notice this week.

2) With the coming order of Economy Tuners I am also getting 100 sets of gold-plated enclosed-gear tuners. These are beautiful tuners and look really great on CBGs. They also go perfectly with my gold fret wire!

3) I have added some great new decorative hardware: some jumbo grommets (sound hole inserts) in brass and copper, and also some standard grommets in the 1/2" and 5/8" sizes, all at great prices! Grommets are a great decorative accent on CBGs and other handmade instrument builds, and these larger grommets are really something!

4) I once again have some 1/4" jacks in stock - not quite the same as the Neutriks (which are still on backorder), but they'll do just fine!

Been too busy to post an update! As most of you know, economy tuners are in stock and going fast. I have reordered them and hopefully they will be here before I run out of this first batch. Also I am getting gold-plated enclosed-gear tuners in stock, which I will be able to offer at a great price. Other updates include 2 new fret wire styles (a narrow/lower nickel-silver and a narrow/low gold EVO style). I also now have 8-packs of decorative brass box corners, perfect for CBGs.

1/4" mono jacks should be back in stock this week, 3 and 12 packs. These aren't quite the same as the others I was carrying (the Neutriks) but those are backordered until July 20 and I wanted to get something in stock for jacks sooner. These ones I am getting aren't quite up to Neutrik's standards but should be fine for CBGs.

Also on the electronics front, I now have JUMBO 41mm (over 1.5") piezos in stock, both wired and unwired, in 3 and 6 packs. A lot of builders feel that the larger piezos have better bass response - try some out and decide for yourself!

Stop by www.cbgitty.com/cubecart today to check out these and all of our other products. We're adding more good stuff at great prices all the time, so stop by often!
