Sometime relatively recently, I think in the last year?, a very busy OLF member was generous enough to post photos of drawings/sketches with top thicknesses/ladder bracing dimension guidance for small (parlour?) guitar(s)

I thought I had saved them on computer, as I was very interested in doing a build like this, but seem to have lost it.

I have tried searching the OLF several times over the part couple of months, but have not been able to find the post again.

Can anyone put me on to this post?

Thanks in advance,

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.

Probably John How's generous contribution...

Would you believe it Colin?....I'm at present building that very concert parlour taken from John Hows post. I actually traced the template from his life size pictures on the monitor (I was careful not to puncture the LCD with my pencil wow7-eyes ). I've almost finished it, would love to post pictures but I don't have a camera. I will however ask a friend of mine to take some pics. and hopefully figure out how to post them.

Bill
