What does that medium gold go for Gitty? I found some really cool vintage brass machine heads..I would like to fret one to match that color more.

Hello Diane - I also sell jumbo gold fret wire, which would be ideal for a 0-fret. It's not cheap, but let me know how much you need and maybe we can work something out for a smaller amount than 6 feet.

Hey Gitty, I am working on my 2nd build. I plan to use a zero fret. I have just purchased some specialty medium gold fretwire from you. I need to buy some fretwire for the zero fret. Do you have any suggestions? It has to be gold, and I understand the zero fret has to be bigger than the other frets. Help, please.

Hey folks, just an announcement to let you know that my Fret Bevel Files are now available! The design has gone through a number of refinements, and I feel very good about the final version.
This is a great way to get all of your fret ends filed to a uniform 35-degree angle, just like the pros do.
I am pricing these at $27.99 each with FREE SHIPPING ($34.99 international), so they are a good bit cheaper than StewMac's plastic version. I believe my design is actually better than stewmac's plastic block, and the red oak sure is prettier.

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!

C. B. Gitty Crafter Suppy Updates: 3/18/10

New Fret Wire Style: JUMBO GOLD EVO! - this is a jumbo variety of the beautiful Jescar gold EVO wire, perfect for CBG basses, diddley bows, or any other project you want a nice high & fat fret wire on. And the distinctive rich gold color cannot be beat for making a build stand out, especially on a dark fingerboard.

We have also restocked a slightly higher version of the Gold EVO "medium" wire - this one is .043" high instead of .037" like the previous variety we stocked. This is more of a true "medium/medium" wire, instead of a medium/low. Also due to working out a better deal with the supplier, I am able to reduce the cost as well.

We have also reworked our packaging model to be both more informative and more professional-looking. Browse on by www.cbgitty.com today to check out the latest deals!

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.

Thanks Sam and Randy. Good prices and great service are absolute rules for me. My golden rule is: sell unto others as you would have them sell unto you. The day I am no longer able/willing to live by that, is the day I'll stop doing business.
