Nice!
I've been working on telecaster type guitars but will switch shortly to the strat types. Why didn't you do the arm and belly cuts on the cnc? I always do all the shaping on the machine and then finish with sanding.
Right now I'm working on guitar necks. That is a bit more challenging or at least I've found it so! A bit more complicated but it's really a rush when all the parts start coming together.
Good job and be sure to post pix of the finished instrument.

Hey Stan;
My Bad!
I think you have the cuts but I just failed to see them. What are you going to do for a neck? I"m looking for a decent model of the Strat neck!
Thanks

Stan;
These are the cuts I failed to see in your pictures. Forgive the renderings. Best I could do here at work!

Yes those are cuts i have done by hand,the one especially is a cloud point or 3d cut and that might be above me to layout and create a toolpath
But i would have liked to have done them
Here is the neck i tried last year ,i don't think its worth while it was a cut3D file that i ran
