    Awesome - I've hesitated contacting you because I know you're plate is already full! Been making some progress in Fusion - today the guys at BobCAD offered me their package for the hobby price - I may have to take them up on it. I need a Tele neck right now if you have one! Many thanks

    BobCAD no contest for Fusion?

    UPDATE: A rep at BobCAD gave me the online demonstration - he is very knowledgeable and helpful, however, he said that Fusion is a much more full featured program. He said that BobCAD is NURBS and Fusion is Parametric. He also said the basic package I would be buying for around 700 bucks doesn't have BobART (which lets you bring in .pdfs or photos to trace) or the pro mill module. He said that Fusion has richer and more numerous features - and since I get to use it free - why buy BobCAD? Seems a parametric program makes more sense for milling guitars. Although BobCAD does look like a nice program with a smaller learning curve than Fusion. Opinions?
