This guitar was just brought in to the shop. The owner says it was a friend's father's and was made somewhere in England. Just curious if anyone else has ever seen anything similar? The writing on the headstock reads "WOOD" , no truss rod and at first look appears to be solid woods. Thanks

That back is pretty wild. "Wood" is an unfortunate brand name for internet searches for an acoustic guitar.

It is....almost like a resonator cone.....zero fret on this and a 24.7 scale.

Searched 'Guitar Maker Wood' and came up this this http://www.guitarsite.com/database/Makers/rec/271/wwwboard/messages/142.shtml

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.

Thank you very much Colin, that is the guy. It mentions his pyramidal guitars in one of the posts.

Thanks, Joe...I found that one once I had a name. Bad info in that one though. I contacted the Totnes School Wood supposedly helped found and it was Norman Reed that started the school, not Wood :) Wood's guitars are pictured though.
