GREAT new product: Pre-Wired Piezo & Jack Harness for only $11.99!
These are perfect for the builder who doesn't want to mess about with sourcing individual parts, wiring and worst of all soldering. With this harness assembly, you just glue in/attach the piezo, drill a hole and mount the jack and you're done! It doesn't get much simpler than this! Also be sure to check out my
article on piezo placement and mounting methods for some pointers on the best ways to place and mount a piezo.
The piezo in this harness is a high-quality 20mm Murata piezoelectric transducer, and the jack is a Neutrik long-shaft (9.5mm vs 6.5mm) 1/4" phone jack, great for getting through cigar box sides with plenty of threads to spare. Perhaps best of all, these harnesses were assembled by none other than our very own renowned luthier and CBG electronics expert, Ted Crocker!
Be sure to browse on over to C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply for this and other great new products! -

NOW IN STOCK -
Rod Piezo & End-pin Jack Harness! This pickup assembly was made specifically for cigar box guitars, and features a great rod piezo pickup and chrome end-pin/strap button jack. Best of all, no soldering is required to install it! The rod piezo lead plugs directly into the back of the endpin jack, so all you have to do is mount your piezo, mount the jack, plug it in and you're done! I have these listed on my site @ $14.99 per set, only $16.99 shipped to the US, significantly less than you can get a similar item for on eBay! Don't let fear of soldering and wiring keep you from adding pickups to your builds any longer! Also, I now have GIFT CERTIFICATES avalable for purchase through my site. Just check the store homepage at
http://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart. The gift certificates are handled through PayPal: buying one provides you a printable certificate that has a code that can be used during PayPal checkout on my site to cover all or part of the order total! -

Check out the great new economy electronics components now available over at C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply!
Economy Mono Jacks - these jacks are nice quality, with double nuts on the shaft so that you can precisely mount them. They have a ~6.5mm shaft, so they may be a little short to go through the side of a cigar box, but they work great with our new Jack Plates! We sell these in 3-packs, 12-packs and bulk 25-packs, so you can stock up and save!
Economy Volume Potentiometers - We not have economy long-shaft audio-taper volume potentiometers in stock, in both 250KOhm and 500KOhm ratings. The longer shafts on these pots are perfect for getting through the sides of a cigar box guitar without having to do any gouging or chiseling of the inside wall of the box to thin it down. The knurled shaft of these pots will fit in all of the pot. knobs we sell too!
If you have been looking for a more affordable alternative to more expensive pots, give these a try!
We also have many other new products in stock, including popular new pot. knobs in a range of styles (gold dome, chrome flat-top, strat-style black and white volume, etc), chrome ovoid and recessed chrome jack plates, and much more!So if you haven't been over to C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply for a while, it's a good time to check it out! We are always adding great new products, many of which are perfect for use on Cigar Box Guitars, and we are always on the lookout for new items to add to our line-up.
Happy building!
