Official Luthiers Forum!

I've posted a new website and am interested in your comments. The current pics were all taken in my shop,but I'll soon have some professional quality images posted.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

The site as a whole is well thought out and user friendly, but I think the homepage needs work. It looks a little sparse.

Your guitars look fantastic.

Website looks great! Pictures are professional and full of information. One suggestion, on the pricing page, might want to include what your standard sound board is. Wasn't clear to me.

Classy, simple. I like it very much.

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.

Just a couple of comments.

Under "Features" you use the word insure instead of ensure. It might be the American way but insure usually refers to something financial.

There is also a typo where you say the guitars are "built my hands"

In the "About" section -

You describe your "foray in to guitar building" This should be "into"

You say "techniques is strictly adhered to". Should be "techniques are adhered to."

Small criticisms of an otherwise very nice website.

Do I get a free guitar?

Jim, I enjoyed your website - only picture I found distracting was the one on the "models" page where you could see the photographer's reflection in the guitar back - nice finish on that one; otherwise, I think the photos are very good, and you get a glimpse of your shop on occasion. Nice guitars!
