Are there any downloadable guitar plans? Specifically I need Martin Dreadnought plans... I don't need paper plans since I have a form already made for it but I just need to know the heel and tail depth, bracing pattern, etc.

I googled it but all I found are sites selling paper plans, but no pdf or anything. There is a site with downloadable plans but no Dreadnoughts.

Cat-gut strings are made from kitten guts, stretched out to near breaking point and then hardened with grue saliva. As a result these give a feeling of Pain and anguish whenever played, and often end up playing themselves backwards as part of satanic rituals.

A search in duckduckgo turns up 4 available downloadable plans on the first page.

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.

There are lots of them listed here:
