Here's my latest, just finished up yesterday. It's 13" across the lower bout and the scale is 24.75". I did tapered x-braces for the first time on this one and graduated the top thinner toward the edges. I'm happy with how it sounds and it's plenty loud. I really like the figuring on this ziricote set.

Ziricote back and sides
Carpathian spruce top
Peruvian walnut neck
Ebony fretboard
Ziricote bridge
Curly koa binding

That is seriously tasty!

_________________
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.

I got a bunch of it from Bob Gleason of Pegasus Guitars in Hawaii. Really nice stuff.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. I just got back from the first day of the Northwest Handmade Musical Instrument Exhibit and of the three guitars I brought, this was the one that people homed in on the most. Players who tried it out were surprised by how full it sounds. I was surprised by the number of people who expressed a very specific interest in parlor size guitars.
