Nice build, indeed - even though I prefer wood... Any comment on teh electronics? Pretty different from "standard"; and intreaguing for a guy who likes simplicity in tone.

This is fantastic! I struggle to make necks using vectric. Did you learn from trial and error or did you find a good tutorial?
@timsway2 күн бұрын
I use the "two rail sweep" method and I create two different vectors to sweep, one for the nut and one for the heel. I also create two lines separate from my cutting profile about .01" wider than the neck itself to apply the sweep to. I then just create extruded shapes for the head and heel. I learned this method via trial and error.
@timsway2 күн бұрын
I have guitar plans for sale that include necks over at newperspectivesmusic.com they are stls, dxfs, etc., but also include my original Aspire plans as well as a dumbed down Vcarve version. They might be useful tutorials for you (or you can just cut them as is).

looks great, how much did that block of Richlite cost? If I use a Richlite fretboard as the board foot equivalent, it must be a couple grand.
@timsway5 күн бұрын
they sell it in 12X12X1" and 24X24 X1" blocks. I was able to use the 12" blank for this tiny guitar so the body blank was less than $100.

Have you ever made an aluminum guitar body? I'm kinda tempted of building one myself but If I remember correctly most aluminum guitar bodies are not only hollow but contain aluminum bars welded inside to act as bracing.

not a full body yet. I'd do it semihollow with under bridge reinforcement
