John Catto

Hey Catto...where can I find that avatar pic you have?

hey there. I was wondering if you make your plans in left handed forms? if not thats cool, i can flip it and rewrite myself. Also, are your plans free? or do i have to purchase them, because i have seen links to "catto" plans, im just wondering if they are the real ones.

Hey John,
It's Jerry we emailed about your template on MIMF. I also started a firestorm with Deb about the Gibson logos, you directed me to FQMS for them. Anyway, it's nice to see that you have been keeping up on this project. I've built a bunch of guitars, not quite up to dead on specs, outside of one. I'm ready to begin making my Lesters, but I need you 10th revision. How or where can I get it. BTW, did you ever get a chance to check out those Komet Amps?

Thanks, Jerry

Mr. Catto-- I reproduced to 20.01mm scale , your 10th iteration drawing. I did this at no profit and for people trying to build their own guitars for pleasure. I wanted to send a couple to you with my thanks and compliments. I respect the effort you surrendered to the project and on behalf of the MLP community I thank you for sharing and even entering discussions. A sign of a good master is the time he gives to his apprentices and the occasional frustrated journeyman. I know I will say with pride," This guitar drew upon John Catto's knowledge and his gift of that knowledge. My highest regards, J. E. Mike Tobey, Esq.

Hey John,
I recently bought the Stewmac Paul plans to use as a guide in my build but I've been told there are quite a bit of mistakes and that your plan is much better to go by. Most of the links I've come across were dead or simply didn't work for me. Is there a link that works or a way to purchase the plans if need be? Thanks John, I'm very excited to get started on my build. Everyone here has been a great help.

Your guitar builds are phenomenal!!!!

Dear John, I'll definitly jump in the build anytime soon. I'll document it on the forum shall this turs a good project.One quick question if I may : I got your plan from a German websit. I think it's version 11. Do you have any more recent version of it ? Do you have anything regarding the neck though ?
Many thanks for your help, and sorry for disturbing with the questions..

Dear John,
Thank you for your post on my Replica's builders thread.
I was just wondering if you are the same John Catto who draw this les paul plan that I have ? I printed it a while ago and I always feel like I want to build one myself using this plan. It really been itching me for quite a while now....
Thanks for your help
Best regards
