Your cart is empty.This is a specially drilled brass-plated hinge tailpiece, customized by C. B. Gitty for use with 4-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 third photo for an installation example - note that the photo shows the 3-string variety of this tailpiece, but it gives you a good idea of how to use it. See our separate Amazon listing if you need the 3-string variety.

for the cost I could buy a handful of normal hinges and drilled them out myself

I purchased for a cigar box guitar I am building. It will work perfectly. Shipping was as promised.

So this is one of those “hard-to-review” items. I mean, it’s a hinge right? I suppose it’s one of those things that, as long as it works correctly, there’s not a lot you can say.On one hand, it works great and is good quality and that should give it a good rating.On the other hand, It’s a little bit expensive for what it is.Granted, it’s not a standard-size hinge or it would be like two dollars at the hardware store, so maybe they had to have these made special or something to have the holes in the correct place.Still... it’s a $9 hinge. That being said, it’s kind of perfect for a tailpiece and I guess that makes it worth the cost.
