Hi everyone good to see there is a Canadian CBG. I know you can buy full kits for 2 string G-Bass but I do not want a kit I like building my cigar box guitars from scratch. So I was wondering if…Continue

My question is straight forward for any of you that do market places or shows to sell your guitars. How many guitars do you bring with you to do a show? Thanks for all who answer.Continue

Tony - i have not had to pay duty ever on anything from Gitty. My largest order ever was $170US. If you don't mind my asking,under what condition did they ask you pay duty? and are you any relation to Steven? ;-)
I too would prefer Gitty but exchange on the dollar, pricey shipping and having to pay duty at times makes it unreasonable. I use amazon now and have had good luck with a seller called BQLZR Items usually arrive early and decently priced and free shipping.
I'd love to order more from Gitty but the exchange and 'shipping' is brutal to say the least.
So like most I have to order mostly from China. I have a few suppliers of materials I buy from out of China, always had great service and pretty reliable deliveries. I buy fret wire in 10 - 20 meter rolls instead of 2 - 3 meters. Even tuners I buy bulk and they are the same as Gitty's.
Like Dead Head stated you just have to plan ahead knowing your order can take 4 - 6 weeks to arrive, here in BC. I get most of my supplies from Fleabay suppliers.
Boxes are getting tougher to get, so I'm going to start building my own soon. Plus the cigar shop I get my boxes from says boxes won't be available much longer. Seems our wonderful Tater Tot thinks all cigar boxes should be the same size, shape and color. Which they are 'supposed' to be implementing sometime next year Comforting to know our dear leaders have priorities in making our country safe and secure... sarcasm off...
Hi Peggy, I know Lee Valley is starting to carry those supplies, not sure if they will have everything you would need.
Does anyone know a good source of cigar box guitar building supplies here in Canada. I find it can get quite costly ordering from the US. Looking for items like ferrules, brass grommets etc.
Hi all - Mark from Guelph here. "Old Joe" let me know about this group. Still exploring the site (when do you use discussion group vs comment wall anyway?) but hope to hear about all things Canadian and Cigar-y!
pete - i'd get one up . it's pretty easy to set up a free site , and in my opinion it is invaluable . you need a place to showcase your wares /sound demos etc .. . and a link to it to pass on to folks on sites such as this .
i sell alot . most of my sales come from my site and of course the folks here .
