I wanted to show this off.

The body weighs 2 lbs. and the neck weighs 1 lb 3 oz. as depicted.

Playing weight should be right about 4.5 lbs...depending on the pickups.

I built a great deal of rigidity between the bridge and nut so it should have very good sustain.

Can't wait to play this one.

Stuart,
How do you make the indentions where the controls will go?
Thanks,
Steve

I just draw them. :)

On one hand I'm kind of proud to show this kind of thing off...but I'll admit that I'm always a little sensitive about displaying things on this site that are difficult or impossible to achieve by conventional means. I expect indentations like this would be a challenge to recreate using any conventional method.

I have a principle that I apply to designing with cad. I'm not trying to make a LOT of guitars although cad/cam/cnc lends itself directly to that. I'm hoping to present cad/cam/cnc as an accepted category of art. Having learned to use this technology opens up a world of possibilities. These indentations allow for my volume knobs to have just that much less of a height to their profile...a design notion. This would be such a challenge to accomplish conventionally that I expect I'd give up on the idea soon after having it. With cad/cam I can follow up on these little ideas and often it isn't all that much of a challenge to pull it off.
