What are your thoughts on this guitar?

Lots of breaking strings or tuning problems?

In Cyberpunk 2077 the band mentioned they spent all their spare money on strings... I can see why.

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.
