'd like to offer some enthusiastic feedback to Hesh about his short course of instruction about fret installation - - - which I followed as best I could. The guitar's been sitting on a stand in my music room for the past week just getting used to being a guitar.

Hesh, I've never encountered an easier-playing guitar than this one, which I'm happy to have and which I don't deserve to own. I cannot wrap my head around how spectacularly important it is to do the best job possible setting up the fretboard. I sure learned a bunch!

THANK YOU!

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.

Look for the thread in this forum starting with 'scotchbrite'. Start at the bottom and work up.
