Strung up Numbers 3 & 4. Vast improvement over Numbers 1 & 2, yet a ton of improvement still needed! I like how they both sound:

Guitar # 3: My take on a Prairie State Guitar, more shape etc, than from actual construction. This was modeled after my old Franklin Prairie State made in '85, which was modeled after Stefan Grossman's PS.

- Madagascar RW B&S
- Bearclaw Sitka top
- Ebony FB, Bridge, Headplate
- Curly Koa Bindings, end wedge
- Koa/Maple Purfling
- Spalted Maple Rosette
- French Polish top, Tru Oil B&S, and neck

Guitar #4: OM
- African Mahogany B&S
- Lutz top
- Zebrawood Bindings, end wedge, rosette
- Macassar Ebony Fingerboard, Bridge, Headplate
- French Polish Top, Tru Oil B&S, and neck

Well done, Glenn. That Prairie State is a monster! I what you've done with the fretboard and headstock on the OM. Nice work!

Fine work Glenn

_________________
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.
