Fretting Guide on CD: Learn how to Fret/Refret a Guitar or other Instrument!

Description: C. B. Gitty's Fretting Guide This guitar/stringed-instrument fretting guide is 158 pages long and packed with great information, including many color pictures and diagrams, as well as information on all fretting-related topics. Sections include: Overview of Tools; Preparing Instruments for Re-Fretting; Preparing for new fret installation; Measuring and cutting fret slots; installing and finishing frets, and more! The appendices also include lists of resources for more information on fretting, as well as the key suppliers and resources, including many free web resources! This is a professionally written, proofread and edited guide, not something thrown together overnight. From the Introduction: This guide’s purpose is to present a basic overview of fret work, distilled from my own experience and various other sources. My goal is that once you have read this guide, you can tackle your first fretting project with enough know-how to do a good job. The purpose of this guide is not to make you an instant expert or guarantee that you won’t make any mistakes. But it will give you a road map, and places to go for more information. Testimonials: Here is what Ted Crocker, master builder and luthiery mad scientist, had to say about the 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! Ted Crocker - *** Hey CB I like the fretting guide... I really like the way you did it. Very professional!

Shipping Information: Product CD is shipped via USPS First Class Mail. International orders welcome! Returns: Due to the electronic nature of this guide, unfortunately I am not able to accept returns. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ... We ship packages via the U. S. Postal Service, either First Class Mail International or Priority Mail International. While these services generally get packages anywhere in the world in 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes it can take longer - this is almost always because the Customs Office in your country delays the package. In some cases it has taken up to 4 weeks for a package to be delivered. We will not consider an item as "lost" until at least 30 days have passed from the time of shipment. Also, you may be responsible for local customs duties and taxes depending on your country's laws. We mark package values honestly, as required by the laws of the United States, so please don't ask us to declare a false value, or declare a package as a gift. If you are an international buyer, please be aware of these realities BEFORE buying. Recycled Materials... We use recycled cardboard as packaging materials whenever possible. Those of you who care about the environment can appreciate the value of this, and everyone can appreciate the fact that it helps keep our prices lower since we don't have to buy new cardboard for packaging. This may mean that our packaging materials occasionally show some shipping scuffs, labels, printing or other markings, but used cardboard does the job just fine. Hopefully you will find a way to recycle it on your end too! Best Value vs. Cheapest Price... Whenever possible, we try to make sure we have the best price on eBay for the fret wire we offer. In the rare cases when another seller beats our price by a few pennies, we stand by our claim that our offer is the best VALUE on eBay. Not only do we take the time to make sure our listing is accurate, spell-checked and well-formatted, but we also include my "do's and don'ts" sheet, crammed full of tips and resources, and places you can go for more information. Finally, we are available by e-mail to answer questions as best we can for anyone who buys fret wire from us and needs advice. We certainly cannot answer every question authoritatively, but at the very least we can recommend where to go for more information. With C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, you can be sure that your items will be well packaged, will ship within 1 business day of your order, and will get to you as fast as the United States Postal Service can deliver it.
