Incidentally, gut strings are usually made from sheet or goal intestinal walls but occasionally livestock intestinal walls. No cats are harmed in the process, despite the name.

Boy that's a really tough one! I think the cat's longer, but, maybe it's the guitar. Did I get it right?

Domestic cat = 11 characters

Eastman E20-P = 11 characters + hyphen

Conclusion - The guitar is officially the length of a hyphen longer than the cat.

As a family with a cat-to-guitar ratio of 1:1 I particularly appreciate this.

The only difference between a small cat and a big cat is one will try to eat you and one won't.

You better make sure that baby panther doesn't get too hungry.
