    Who can help make drawing up for guitar body's and necks?

    Hi all

    Need help taking my hand drawing and getting ready to be used on a CNC system.
    When talking to someone on this forum, they said there is an area for this, but at a loss where.
    Anybody have an idea who would be good for this?
    I think I need to enroll in an architectural engineering program. When I'm done, I can build bridges and get over anything.

    alex making all type of guitar, and designs own too..
    hes a very helpful one..

    scan your handdrawing and look for a program that can import bitmap..
    make vectors of your drawing and toolpath it..

    draftsight is free, toolpathing you can go with F-engrave that also free..

    the lowest priced program for toolpathing is artcam express at this time.. for 150 you can import 3d models like guitarneck and toolpath it too..

    Hi victorofga!

    If you still need some help in drawing 2D let me know I think I might be able to help with a few ideas and suggestions of how to get started. Most of the guitar routings
    will be 2.5 D toolpathes except the neck....so that´s a little more tricky.....just email me for assisatance.
