I have been a pizeo guy and likely will stay that way. But I have 2 hubcap guitars that I had trouble with the piezos. I got some covered bass pickups from Gitty a while back I put one on a hub cap git. Sounds great. Can really handle high volume. Pleased! Thanks!

Hello from New Zealand, thanks so much for having an amazon store! And for shipping really quickly !! Very handy, its hard to get parts down this way without spending a fortune so its much appriciated!! I'll definately be shopping there!! Thanks again :D
my CBGitty Big Macanudo #4 arrived today. I can't believe how quickly it got here by the postal service given the holiday weekend. Excellent craftsmanship, superb tone. The volume out of a cigar box amazed me. I love it.
I have ordered a few times from Gitty in the past month and absolutely recommend them to anyone. One of the best customer services I have seen fast shipping to boot. I will be buying most of my supplies from them.
We've installed some updates on the C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply web store over the weekend, including an entirely new look and feel. The hope is that this new visual theme will be easier for people to use, as well as looking cleaner and more professional. If you haven't checked out the store lately, we also have a lot of great new stuff. http://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/
I'm looking to put a tone pot on my current build. I have some of the 10KOhm linear taper pots from Gitty, but notice some folks are saying to use same value pot as the Volume (500Kohm) and to use a capacitor on the tone pot. I noticed that Gitty does not sell anything but the one tone pot. Can anybody give me some feedback on using the pot I already have or should I use a 500 audio taper with a capacitor? I'm using a single humbucker.
I'm loving C.B. Gitty! I bought the chrome humbuckers and wondered if anyone had found mounting rings that fit these? They are about 1 1/8" X 2 5/8.
I was very impressed how fast I got my order. working on the next order. I just worried about all the holiday mail slowing it down.
Ben, I was very happy to find my first shipment from CB Gitty waiting for me by the front door as I arrived home from work this evening. My order was 100% correctly filled and arrived quicker than expected. Unfortunately, I am going out of town on business for a few days, so I will have to wait a bit longer to install my new parts. As soon as I get everything installed, I will be sure and write some reviews on your site. It was a pleasure doing business with you my friend.
