    ISO CAD or toolpath data for CNC routing (body+neck)

    Hello from Germany,

    I am new to CNC and would love to use my CNC for making me a guitar (LP or Tele, maybe a Strat) and I am looking out for real CAD-drawing or real usable data for routing the body + neck (I don´t mean the .dfx etc. files I know for download at another place).

    As I am a beginner I cannot offer any data for trade, but I have a good stock of tonewood that I could offer to work out something.

    If any kind soul is willing to help I´d appreciate it very much.

    Thanks and best regards,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    If you look here in the musical instruments threads you will find an iges file I loaded of a double cut les paul. It is not finished, but it will get you started anyway. If you can't find the thread post again or send me a pm with an email and I will send the files directly to you.

    Hi Mike,

    thanks a lot - I found your two igs-files! Unfortunately there seems to be a routing between the humbuchers in the mid position for a single coil pickup ... I wanted it more the old way and don´t know if I can delete this with my routing software (NCdrive)... have to check, but I don´t think so.

    Anyway, thanks again and best regards from Hamburg

    Hi Martin,

    My iges files did not have the pickup cavities modeled yet.

    Here is the link.

    Hi Mike,
