CB Gitty's NEW Hubcap Howler Kit!

- The folks over at CB Gitty sent me one of their new Hubcap Howler kits to build. I'm thankful they thought of me. It's very similar to their Mountain Tenor kit but with a resonator cone. I really like the way the kit turned out. I decided to tune it in Chicago tuning (D-G-B-E).

dude !!! you’re work is beautiful !!! love your textures and your finishes 😍
Thanks brother. I really appreciate that. It's a nice kit for sure.
That's awesome! Looks & sounds great.
Thanks Steebos. I'm so happy they sent it to me. The kit should go on sale this week.
Cool little kit!
Thanks Steve. It is really quite clever and I really like this tuning.
Kale - fun - needed to have a little escape this evening - good stuff. Trying to get up and into ready for BlueBerry season here in the FL panhandle (@greenmeadowsfarmblueberries) - going to go for it - do the 'pickin' while folks are picking certified organic blueberries ... having lost the year I am not ready - not fully up to speed but even bought new strings for #500 - getting things ready -- Elwood BOBBY Black going to get folks into some fun ...
I went to a strawberry farm a few years ago and you had to pick your own. It was an interesting experience. Good luck and thanks for watching.
As always job well done👍
Thanks Gary. It really is a nice kit.
Finally...Someone who actually plays it..with buckers installed and with 4 strings...but no slide. Ok-it's all good. What amp were you playing thru? Fine..Fine work Sir!!
Thanks for watching. The amp I used was my Orange Crush 12. It's a great little amps for CBG.
I like the red with dark stain looks really good. Almost high school colors. Go panthers 🐆
I liked the combination too. These kits are really nice.
CB Gitty just keeps rolling out some good kits. Thanks for the demonstration. Now you have an orange top and a red top so to be fair in my neck of the woods, I think you should paint the next top maroon.
Is that a Houston Astros reference? Ha ha.
@@musicalmiscellany The burnt orange could represent the Astros. The Aggies don't cheat so I don't mind wearing maroon.
Wow you are on a roll with making instruments. That's awesome. I am so Happy that this company recognized your talent for doing this !! Yeah ! Sounds cool and since you play guitar you Will fly with this tuning. And not to make you go down another rabbit hole but Chicago tuning is what every baritone ukulele is tuned too as well !! So I got into tenor guitars and started off with CDGA and then found out there are a few different and cool tunings. One of which is DGBE and another which is GDAE which which is like and octave mandolin and I think tenor banjo. Which I think is the CGDA lol
So many tunings and so little time. LOL. I really do like this DGBE. As you point out, it's like a baritone uke or - if you put a capo on the 5th fret - it's a tenor uke.
@@musicalmiscellany ha ha yes !! Exactly !
Great job on the build. It would be great if you could give a small tutorial on that little song you play towards the end. It looks like something I could learn as a beginner and it's a neat catchy tune. Or maybe the tablature. Plzzzzzzzzz & Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion. I do CBG tutorials from time to time and this might be a good idea for the next one. I have a playlist of them here: ua-cam.com/play/PLwIixlr7C6KXPJNtd6WUculsYimIwVOJ7.html
@@musicalmiscellany Great, I'll patiently wait...Thanks.
@@paulvorisek8329 I just posted another tutorial this morning. ua-cam.com/video/-2kub6FTOsU/v-deo.html I go over the minor and major chord shapes in DGBE tuning and show the exact riff I did in this video. Hopefully that's helpful to you.
@@musicalmiscellany Thank you sir...I'll give it a look and see if I can make some music. Appreciate it.
Hi, you've got a kind of 'scalloped' feature on the neck up around the cowboy chord area. Did you do that or did the kit come with it? Looks cool.
Ah. Good eye. I do that with a rasp. I think it's easier to play when it's not so thick out near the nut. Out of the box, the necks are flat on all sides, no contours at all.
@@musicalmiscellany Thanks for replying!
