Hi. Just seeing if anyone has any good Les Paul .stl or other 3d files. I would really like a neck file. I would also like a strat or a tele neck. I just built my machine and I am anxious to build a guitar. I know you've worked hard on these so I will gladly pay if necessary. Thanks mmcguire

Accurate ones, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I built a Les Paul using the 3D Les Paul file at fabitrabbit.com. The download includes a bunch of different formats. Ya gotta pay though, but it's pretty cheap if I recall.

I know this thread is old but the info is good for others.

Did you change the neck tenon or build it like it is on fabitrabbit.com (with the angle on the neck rather than the body? Is there any disadvantage to doing the angle on the neck and making the body route flat?

I don't know if there's any disadvantage, but the originals were done with the angle on the neck pocket. That's how I modeled mine.

I cheated and made my neck pad (where the neck meets the body) angled. Much easier to do that with a 3D surface cut then it was to make an angled jig for the body at the time.

I have an original LP59 scanned, and modeled in 3D.

Hello I am new to the forum and have had a ridiculous time finding top contour files the cad files I've purchased are sort of all inclusive with every part all jumbled together and by the time my dad and I extract what we think is just the top carve, something ends up getting lost in translation, tool paths are all weird and we get a strange pieced out weird looking LP pizza!! You sound like you may have what we are looking for as were looking for someone who has actually scanned a real one. I have a an old 54 husk but am not set up to do this myself. If you'd be so kind as to get back with me, and with what we've spent on stewmac,Etsy and fabitrabbit LP files, we'd be willing to pay for specific top carve files. Thanks

They're here in the CNC Zone, just have to look for them

[bostosh]

Louis, Client made that a point also to be 100% correct to the print. so it is modeled and made
They want perfection? no problem, these are really suited for a modest 5axis machine Too many set-ups now.
Some repro guys do these all 3axis Attachment 376528

I saw the pics of your files how can I actually acquire them /or can you share them ?

[mattsta]

I sell 3D Cad files of all kinds of guitar parts including the Les Paul. I based my model on Tom Bartlett's 2D plans which were created from a genuine 59 Les Paul

You can view it here:

https://grabcad.com/library/gibson-l...rve-template-1

I charge a fee for it because it took a very long time to create and a lot of hard work.



Contact me at Grabcad if you are interested in purchasing any guitar related CAD stuff.

Love those curves Yes that is 24K with PVD over 6061.
