Ben "C. B. Gitty" Baker

Times of change are often necessary and good, but also stressful for everyone involved. I'm happy the controls of the Nation are going to someone in our community and I wish you the best of luck in your new role. I'm sure you're going to do great with it.

(PS - Love your products and customer service - how much kissing up do we need to qualify for product discounts? :)

Ben,

I'm new to CBN, Welcome!

 Wow, dont things change. One day its this way, the next day it is that way.

A BIG thanks first goes out to you for taking it over and keeping it going. I wish you continued sucess, but if anyone can do it, you can.

Good luck Ben! You took on a load, but I'm sure you can do it & we all will help any way we can. I don't really know what to say about all this, but if I can help, feel free to ask.

Ben,

Thanks for keeping the Nation alive. Torch passing is a difficult thing. We'll help you not get burned ;-)

Holey Buckets, Ben.  The nation is nearing 7000 souls.   Wow....   Seems like we just hit 5K not too long back.

I have built 25 guitars so far, and more than half of them have your parts in them---and all the fretted ones do ---keep up the good work!! I will be ordering more stuff very soon. Happy new year, Hippy Chip

Happy Birthday Ben! Have a great day.

Thank you.. By the way i buy 90% of my building supplys from you. Great stuff.

Congrats on the Front Page article in the fosters last week. Store open maybe?

Got my 1st canjo today its so much fun 

Ben, I love the packaging on the Southbound strings.  Whoever came up with that was inspired.  They would even make a good git top.   Lots of nice stuff out from you.

Thanks for featuring my latest guitar in the newsletter and for your kind comments

Can't change my photo on my page Ben.  Keep getting error message after trying different pics both jpg and gif.

howdy mr gitty,i just stopped by to say happy birthday,hope your day is great as it can be.

Hey Ben, got a message to check out shane's latest news letter but the blogs are gone. Have looked twice still not there have they been moved if so where, just trying to keep up.

Thanks, Gary

Thats OKE Ben ,are there more CBN regulations for Nation site users? Don't like to effend the Famely folks! Greeettssszzz.

Ben, 

How amazing can that be you started this as a hobby and now it is your work and employment.

I like the looks of boxes you make. Some are very unique.   I want you to hear one of my slide guitar originals. Perhaps I will buy one from you instead of making one, and get one that works well and benefit from your mistakes.

Thanks much for the friend request Ben. I had been making instruments for a few years before discovering CB Nation but thanks to you and the many helpful members here I was able to do things I'd never imagined before. You and Shane provide a wealth of information, not to mention a good place to buy parts! Hope to see you in York!
