Hi

Here's number 2 .. getting bit better each time

Got a really nice warm sound with thumpy bass which I think is maybe because I used heavier ebony bridge

Thanks for helping with the questions I asked ..there's always questions lol

Plus 1 - what I can see looks great though!

_________________
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.

Congratulations on number 2! That's a very classy looking guitar. Great job on matching up the grain lines of the sides at the end graft.

A beautiful guitar. #2!! The headstock design is great and the shaping on the back is nice and symmetrical. I struggle with that. What do you use to shape your neck?
