We have sold hundreds of sets of fret wire, and scores of our fretting guide, on eBay, with 100% positive feedback, and we bring this same dedication to quality service to all of our sales. See what some satisfied customers have said below.
Here's what Ted Crocker, master builder and luthiery mad scientist, had to say about our fretting guide:
I've seen the draft of Gitty's Fretting guide and it is a well written, comprehensive tutorial that will get a beginner started down the right path and even provide some tips and insights for those with some experience. It is loaded with photos & links and provides an easy to follow step by step process of how-to install or repair frets. Gitty has managed to put his vast knowledge into words and pictures that explains several methods as well as ways to avoid common mistakes.
There are links to and photos of many of the store bought tools offered as well as simple ways to construct those tools yourself. With this guide in hand you will be installing or repairing frets with confidence even before you are done reading. I tip my hat to CB Gitty for taking the time to produce a professionally laid out booklet that could easily sell for many times his asking price. Great job brother Ben, keep up the good work. The [Cigar Box Guitar] Nation salutes you!

About our gold fret wire...
JoAnn Hite was looking for the perfect fret wire for her homemade challenge banjo build being hosted by handmademusicclubhouse.com. Bright copper details played a big role in her build, so standard nickel-silver fret wire just wouldn't do. In the end, she decided to go with C. B. Gitty's Gold fret wire, and was very pleased with her decision.
"The only thing that surpasses the beauty and quality of the fret wire, was how easy it is to use," JoAnn said. "I believe the gold fret wire to surpass the standard wire in beauty. It is strong and durable, yet easy to seat in the fret slots."
JoAnn's banjo turned out great, and she was very happy both with her accomplishment and with her experience with C.. B. Gitty Crafter supply and our gold fret wire.
"C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply's customer service was top notch," she said, "And the shipping was fast. The fret wire and [fretting guide] CD arrived quickly and in perfect condition."
Experience the unmatchable distinction that our gold fret wire can bring to your build or repair job. Order a set today!
Hey Ben, used the gold fret wire on my dulci-jo build. I love that wire, so easy to finish the ends. Took me half as much time then the nickel wire I use. I`m hooked on the gold wire now, will being ordering more of it in the near future......Outstanding fret wire!!!!!
