At 3:50am on March 5, 2010, Dianne Woods said…: Hey Gitty, I am working on my 2nd build. I need some fret wire, but I don't know what kind to get for building CBGs, and tinjos. Would you suggest something that would work great? I want to buy the fret CD, too. I do know, I would like the gold frets which look really great. I don't know what size. I am very new at this---don't know why you would have different sizes.
Oh, how did you cut the bottom of the door pullers out? Thanks.

Thanks Ben. Great wire and great service.

I just purchased your fret wire and guide.
I cant wait.

This is going to be a big help. ILast year I built a standard standard uke and mandolin, and the fretting drove me crazy (they were uneven, kept popping out, etc.). I've started my 1st CBG, and I think your guide will make the fretting go much smoother.

Thanks, and you guys on the Nation are the best. You've created a great community here.

I love the bluegrass version too but was exploring my new slide and started picking it out all slow and dark. I like how it turned out. Not a fan of how some of my lyrics trail off and get lost and I think the reverb might be a bit heavy. Anyway...Thanks!
