Nice one Mike, thanks.

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 have a new inspiration. Going to have build one of these. Hope I can find useful acoustic plans.

"Going to have build one of these. Hope I can find useful acoustic plans"

The hard part will be figuring out how to turn it up to 11. Really cool instrument!

Cool. I built a ten string tapping (I don't dare say 'stick') guitar and owned a Megatar. Low consistent action is very important on these, so an acoustic tapper (I have seen one in a video) seem like a special challenge.
