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.

Thanks for the fast shipping. Got my new tuners, a 4-pole pickup and a rod piezo to try out. The rod will make its way in to my next build.

Good job Ben, I know I will be a repeat customer.

   I like the combination strap button/electric jack from Gitty.  Easy install as it lets you work with a thick or braced box.  Seems sturdy.  Seems to pick up good and loud.  Good price at $3.99. 

   Last order was on Sunday, got here Wednesday.  :)

Hey there Gitty, ever consider carrying some precut nuts and bridges? I know I sure would enjoy having the option to buy some.
Comment by DrByte on February 7, 2011 at 8:55am
Hey there Gitty, sorry I missed your call this afternoon. Didn't know if I should go through the credit card step again or not. If you have any trouble with it give me a call back. Dennis.
