My playing sucks and the camera isn't the greatest for recording but it's an idea of the sound.

Any idea why the player won't load, what am I doing wrong?

Very very nice. I'm not sure "everyman" is capable of that kind of work. I'm not. Very impressive.

Sure turned out real nice. Is it a keeper?

_________________
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.

The body is nitro and Dave Anderson finished it. I just did a somewhat FP on the neck. The neck is more of a C profile then a U. If I want to change it later I can easily finish it and then shoot nitro on it if I choose but I like the feel of FP.

Yeah it's a keeper, at least for now. :)

Chris, that's the work of a master craftsman!
The sound is very impressive too. What a fabulous guitar.
Please can we have some photos? I want to have a really good look at the head. I remember your post when you started the carving.
Thanks for inspiring me.

Congrat's on a fabulous instrument, Chris. Was your carving of the headstock inspired by Jeronimo Pena Fernandez? He was a classical/flamenco guitar maker from Jaen in southern Spain. Great work!

Outstanding. I love how you really followed your own vision, strayed off the beaten path, and got away with it. :) Not every man can do that.

Mr.Everyman only has three, four hundred bucks to spend on a guitar: so, deal...?
