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'd recommend both High Mountain Tonewoods and Alaska Specialty Woods... they've both served me very well in the past for spruce and cedar Weissenborn tops.

30 bucks for a triple A Weiss top is an incredible deal! Most AAA standard guitar tops are more than that.

I've gotten some great tops out of Brent at Alaska. They are priced very well for the quality too!
