Description
This is the perfect starter kit for Cigar Box Guitar builders looking to try fretting their instrument for the first time. It includes C. B. Gitty's revised and expanded 158-page Fretting Guide on CD, which includes many pictures and gives you all of the basic info you need to make your first fretting job a successful one. This kit also includes 6 feet of standard medium nickel-silver fret wire, perhaps the most popular size for use on cigar box guitars.
If you are ready to get serious about fretting, this is the place to start!
