Guitar Building with my JazzCNC machine

Looking good. Very inspiring. Where are you sourcing the hardware for this guitar?

Hi there and thanks !!

I've got a mix of hardware for the guitar. Pickups are Seymour Duncan, tuners are kluson. For the bridge and tailpiece I will either use Faber or Gotoh parts. Then various plastic parts I have sourced from different places. I have also cut out the back cavity covers for the guitar myself out of black ABS.

I need to get a bit of a wiggle on with it really as it is going to be a gift for my brothers 40th birthday at the end of September. It will take a few weeks for the lacquer to cure after I spray it. But for that I will need a compressor and spray gun and a crash course on how to use them

Looking good Ben, you seem to be getting to grips with it quick enough, those feeds n speeds look nicely dialed in with a good balance between speed and sanding regards the step over(scallop) with the ball-nose cutter.

Can't wait to hear it played..

Cheers Dean, I think its running at 4200mm/min in that video, seems to be fine running the finishing passes at that speed, Im sure I could turn it up a few % more as well. Only takes a couple of minutes to knock the scallops off and sand it down.

Sadly being left hand I wont even be able to play it myself but Ill make sure to get some videos of my brother playing it.

Hes a very patient brother too, I initially promised I would make him one 4 years ago !!

Good things ( hopefully ) come to those who wait ;)
