Hi all, I just signed up after lurking the reddit forums for the last year and finally getting linked here and seeing all your builds. Love the pics and progress builds, they are inspiring. I have just had the gear I ordered from stew macs turn up for my next attempt at a solid body electric. Going for a custom build based on Tele specs. Hopefully be able to get into it in a few weeks.

Just thought I would say hello.

Welcome.

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.

I warned my wife about the weather in UK before we moved here, and was not really believed.
33 years on and she still complains about it.....
