Will this work for a Fender style neck design?
@Audiohotshot2 ай бұрын
It should. You just might have do some tweaking in the curve going from the top of the neck to the top of the headstock. But In general I’d say you should get pretty close.

@Audiohotshot11 ай бұрын
The next step is obviously making CAM strategies. There are many to find on YT, a few of mine you can find on my channel. Like this one for the body: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYqWdmqfmtWtpdU Or this one for the neck: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHPbZatoiZKcf7ssi=G2YxOqTW08nZLGfx For the fretboard find inspiration here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ_RiYh5l92Hf6ssi=W_sfh87MFQTnTyH_ But as I said, there are more ways to get it done. Have fun!!

Thank you so much for this video ! I'm trying to make a more pronounced volute, do you have an idea of how to proceed ? I'd like to curve the bottom face of the headstock, then connect it to the neck. But... I'm new to fusion and can't find a good way to do that. If you have a tip I'd take it !
@Audiohotshot11 ай бұрын
Not really sure what you mean by “a a more pronounced volute”. Butif I understand correctly you could try making a plane with a curve (as I did for the cutout for the backside) and slice the bottom part of the headstock. After that reshape the neck connection. Hope this helps!

Good man, I like the way you explain your moves and I think your video is instructive for all those who are hesitating whether to go into guitar building or manufacturing. I never used Fusion 360, I preferred to have fun with Rhinoceros 5, and I wasn't particularly specific, like you, I was more focused on a unique headstock that would distinguish my guitars from the "big brothers" and avoid lawyers knocking on the door. I almost bought a CNC router, even my wife supported me, she said: it's better than "holding the bar" in the bar. People like you make Yt a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, learn something, and make your day. Thank you.

Most welcome! Glad you find the video helpful. The most fun is seeing the body become reality on a CNC router, though. You can buy one (which is probably the easiest way, not the cheapest. I built my own from scratch, which is much more fun AND has the options I really want). But anyhow; I fully support your partner: get a CNC :-)

What about tool paths and all that stuff, does fusion 360 automatically set all that stuff or do I have to manually set that up? I am new to this, I have a new CnC machine this video has helped me more than any others on the net, so valuable. All I need to know now is how to set up the specs for machine operation. Does Fusion do all that when it converts to G code? I was no where before watching your video now I am more than half way to my first guitar. I would just love it if you could tell me what to do now after having created the guitar in Fusion 360. What's next Daddy? lol

Thank you so much for this video it saved me a lot of time in designing my guitars. I do have a question though. I like to set the neck back about 2 degrees is there a way you can show how to do this? Also in creating an arch top do you have a video on how to do so? Kind of like Les Paul or PRS guitars. I watched other videos but they are not very explanatory as your video. Thank you again
@Audiohotshot2 жыл бұрын
My solution for drawing a setback of 2 degree's would be by keeping the neck level, but drawing the body onto an angled plane. But I've not tried that, hopefully someone else has a tried-and-tested solution for you! In regards to drawing an archtop; I like to work with splines, SURFACE and lofts for more fluent shapes; gives me good control over curves. But i've seen people drawing it with FORM and MESH as well, I guess it is just what you happen to like better.
