Cad files for guitar

I have a whole collection of guitar images over on my Pinterest page:. Once you have a nice collection of photos, the next step is to import them into your CAD software and trace. Most CAD will let you put a bitmap image in the background. The two full guitars in the Pinterest screen shot above are perfect.

When they change slowly, the dots can be further apart. It takes me no more than 5 minutes to get a good tracing. As I mention in the video, I also do an outline of the neck pocket to ensure I know how it aligns with the guitar body. It's obvious that a lot of time was put into these videos and they are definitely worth purchasing if you want to learn how to do CNC Design and Machining of guitar necks and bodies. Since the neck design videos were so good, I ordered the body design and machining videos as well.

A Telecaster tm style guitar seemed to be a pretty straightforward project that could be done in a weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good 3D or 2D model of a basic design without paying a significant fee so I have begun coming up with a design that can be built on a small DIY CNC router. The design will use standard off-the-shelf parts electronics, pick guard, control plate, pickups, etc.

So far I have the body modeled using CamBam with registration holes so that no difficult alignment needs to be done when flipping the body from the back to the front. I will be adding the machining operations to the CamBam file and will post the g-code and instructions to build as I complete them.

This is a 3D animation of experimental banjo bridge design 2. This is a joint design by Steve Myers and myself. The drawings may not be redistributed. Download Violin Family mostly upright bass Parts. Double bass tuning machines, double bass end pin, bass bridge adjuster wheel, a scalable scroll spiral outline and a very nice Strad style ff-hole.

The scroll spiral was copied from a violin using quarter turn arcs. It is not scaled to any particular instrument but can be scaled to suit any of the violin family instruments. The ff-hole is also not scaled to any particular instrument but can be scaled to suit. This was drawn from great instructions by Robert J. Spear which appeared in the second part of an exquisite three part article on drawing the violin in American Lutherie Download Electronic Parts.

Various electronic guitar parts including pickups, jacks, control pots, selector switches and a Gotoh battery box. Acoustic Guitar Layouts and Layers Included: Note that not all of these apply for all acoustic Guitar files Note: Acoustic Guitar CNC Files allow for 2mm top thickness and 2mm back thickness for the side contour cutout, head block and tail block dimensions. The Neck dimension at the neck joint allows for 2mm back thickness.
