Thanks! So you kept the high E at 25.4, then pushed the extra length into the low end. How do you like that? On my archtop I went with 24.75 to 26", with perpendicular at the 7th. It makes for a bit more angle on the bridge, but I like the way the frets 1-14 feel pretty balanced. And I was dealing with 1.25" of fan vs. your 0.5". I like the idea of less fan. Just enough to give the low end a little help, especially in drop tunings.

Serious food for thought.....

I like it fine. As it's my first multiscale I wanted to see how it feels to play (and sounds) with the slanting at the 1st fret, if I want a bigger difference between the scales I can do that at the bridge. Also I can use the same strings as normal for dropped tunings (Custom light set)

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.
