Thanks Lance. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be into this new pursuit without the help and inspiration of this forum / community.

+1 to that. I wouldn't be where I am now if it hadn't been for this forum.

Agree will all the above. This forum is the single best resource on guitar construction and advice that I have found, not to mention all the interesting personalities and unique insights that go with it. Thanks, Lance for all your hard work and patience. [clap]

Happy 10th!

I receive far more than I give here, so let me give a heartfelt thank you to the contributors who make this community such a great resource and entertaining place to visit, the sponsors who keep the lights on and most of all Lance for all the thankless behind the scenes work he does to make this available to all of us.

Happy tenth and thanks to all, especially Lance for making this all possible.

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.
