The guy that I built the Quilted maple Small Jumbo for created this slide show video with a sound track of him playing the guitar. Recorded straight from the mic with no EQ. or any effects added.

Excellent Fred!

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.

Josh I can not take any credit for the video Jean-Francois the guitar owner created it with photos off my photobucket and web site. He indeed did a great job on it.

I am hoping Jean will attend the show and bring the guitar but it is quite a drive from Trois-Rivières Quebec.

Fred,
Very nice guitar and what a beautiful sound. I love quilted maple guitars and hope to build one in the near future. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours. I am sure your client will get a lot of enjoyment out of it and as it opens up I am positive it will only get better.

Great job on it. [:Y:]

Cheers,
Bob

Great looking and sounding guitar Fred. Where did you get the ebony for the armrest? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of doing an ebony armrest and, as far as I can tell, the best source for a nice black piece of wood is to sacrifice a fret board blank (from which I hope I could get a couple of armrest veneers).

Thanks,
Pat

Pat I used black dyed veneer I picked up at A&M. It works real well and much simpler than thinning real ebony.
