Here's my latest effort. I think this might be number 17. I still need to improve on my photography. Shoot, I need to improve on my lutherie... eek This one seemed to fight me from the beginning, pfft seemed like it was one thing after another, including, jumping off my bench... gaah Not as satisfying as other builds, but at least it sounds pretty good and I can move on...

Very nice! I like how the purfling and rosette materials match.

Awesome, I have had them fight me before but once its done I always seem to have learned something or found a better method.
Nice job.

Up to your usual high standards, Steve.
I know there is always going to be a beautiful guitar when I see you've posted a new build!

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.

Beautiful!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that seems to have these instruments put up a battle.
I'll have to try EM6000 now that it's available here from Lee Valley. Very nice finish!
