Welcome to C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply

C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply is your increasingly one-stop shop for finding the parts and gear you need for building and playing cigar box guitars, other hand-made instruments, and even store-bought instruments.

Over the last year and a half we have been working very hard to build our product line to include many of the things you have asked for: from fret wire, to fretting guides and tools, to electronic components, decorative hardware, instrument hardware and more. Our focus has always been on finding the best suppliers for quality goods at great prices, so that the savings can be passed onto our customers. We got into this because it seemed like the established big supply houses were making way too much profit on what they were selling, and we felt we could do better - and we have.

This group on Cigar Box Nation is intended to be the central point for product updates, annoucements, new product requests, general annoucements, testimonials, general how-to discussions and more. All are welcome, and your participation is appreciated! We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has done business with us thus far, and we look forward to working with more of you in the future.

Got a BIG shipment due in today to restock a lot of the stuff that's been out of stock: chrome sealed-gear tuners, gold sealed-gear tuners and more!
Comment by Ben "C. B. Gitty" Baker on September 27, 2011 at 4:23am
Glad to hear it got through fast Fernando. Unfortunately international orders aren't always that speedy, but sometimes we get lucky! Also everyone please stay tuned, I'll be posting some new product updates soon. Lots of good stuff either available now or on the way!

Thanks Ben!

I just emailed you so disregard.

Cheers,

The rod gets embedded in the bridge, the strings don't touch it directly. The ceramic piezo wafers in the rod couldn't stand up to the direct string pressure.
Comment by PapaSimone on September 25, 2011 at 1:24pm

Hi,

I got a Rod Piezo and Endpin Jack Harness and am about to make a bridge for it.  My question is this. Do the strings actually go on the rod or is the rod imbedded inside the bridge?  Can anyone help me?  Ben?

Hey everyone, sorry about the delayed response, but you are definitely welcome. Fast service and low prices are "how we roll". We've got a lot of cool new stuff coming down the pike, as soon as I can get it listed. New CB amps, some gold-plated skull tuners, mando tailpieces (easily modifiable for CBG tailpieces), and more!

Hey Ben - I meant to stop by and say thanks for the fast shipping on my last order, and those box corners are going to come in handy with the other stuff!  Thanks!!!
