That looks sensational Freeman. All the classic elements really nicely planned an executed. I like the match in colour between the neck and the coco back/sides. I presume the neck is mahogany - did you stain it to get that red tint to it?

That's really nice, well executed and tastefully choices.

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.

Fabulous, I have piece of 65 year old redwood and have been wondering what wood to pair it with - I think you just answered the questions.

Thank you. Yes, mahogany neck with a red/brown stain. I actually stained the neck before I bound the headplate and fretboard hoping to keep if from bleeding into the light maple purfling - still got a little red in the line. Oh well....
