Congratulations! It looks really good. It's a tremendously satisfying feeling when you string up and play a guitar you built.

Congratulations! I know this one has been incubating for a while. Looks absolutely perfect. I bet you are already planning how the "next one" will be even better! ;-)

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.
