Your cart is empty.This is a specially drilled brass-plated hinge tailpiece, customized by C. B. Gitty for use with 3-string cigar box guitars. These make great low-cost tailpieces for CBGs, without requiring any potentially dangerous metal drilling. We include two matching mounting screws and a 2-page installation/usage guide showing you how to make use of these tailpieces. They are intended for use with ball-end guitar strings, though you could use loop-end if you ran the string back through the loop. These hinges are 1 3/8" wide by 2" total height. See the second photo for an installation example.

A great option for a tailpiece when building a cigar box guitar or dulcimer-style instrument. The item comes in a three-hole or four-hole style. The three-hole is great for 3-string guitars and dulcimers with a two-string drone high note. Cut a groove in the bridge for the double string drones. As with all things Gitty, this is the right item for many cigar box projects.The easiest strings to use with this are the ball end style, although you can use loops as well. If using loops, put a protective sleeve over the string where it goes through the hole to keep it from being cut. I use the shrink tubes used in electronic projects that are intended to insulate joined wired from ground; fish tank air tubing may work as well.

It's decent but doesnt hold super well. This will do for my guitar case.

This great little hinge is durable and pleasant looking. Very useful for CBG tail pieces, CBG neck braces, or yes, even as a hinge! If you need a durable hinge, buy one of these doodly-dads.
