## Description

Tap into your inner Vaudeville star and get your creative fires twangin' with this complete Tin Pan Alley Paint Can Reso-Box Guitar Kit! It was a warm summer day when we were spitfiring ideas for new kits in the Gitty workshop, and we came to the conclusion that something was missing from our lineup. Thus began our quest for an affordable, easy to build 3-String Resonator guitar that can be built with simple hand tools - and we think we nailed it! This kit utilizes a modified version our popular 8 1/2" x 11" Box Kit for the body, one of our 3-String Fully Fretted 25" Inch Scale Necks and a gallon-sized paint can lid. The kit also includes some of the more common CBG components such as: 1 - Set of 3-String Chrome Open Gear Tuners (2 Left/1 Right) 1 - Set of 8 Nickel-plated Box Corners 1 - Set of 2 Chrome candle-cup sound inserts 1 - Maple Small Banjo-style Bridge 6 - Long Shank Brass Eyelets 1 - Blues Blaster Acoustic Medium Strings 2 - Drywall Screws 2 - Bracing Blocks

Review: Got bored during the pandemic, made this, and now I start my international tour next week ... - All kidding aside, the customer service at CBGitty is second to none, and the laser-cut kits are fantastic for beginning enthusiasts like me to get my feet wet. I can't tell you how fun it is to play. I have upgraded it to use a GittyBucker pickup with tone and volume controls, as well as a dual spring internal reverb. It sounds fantastic, and really adds an organic sense of roots authenticity to pretty much any kind of music you want to play. Great guitar, easy to make. I would make one comment, and that is use white glue on this everywhere EXCEPT for the top. Use hide glue for that in case you later wish to decide to open it up and make some modifications as I did. A lesson from upright bass and violin luthiery that I applied here let me make the mods without much fuss, as hide glue is heat and damp reversible.
Review: Double boxed for shipping! - Nice kit, very impressed by how well the neck was made. Bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend, I will be getting one for myself as well.

My first CB Gitty kit and build. Everything needed and I put my own creative finish to give it some character. Very pleased with the quality of each component and the sound.
