Well finally cut my first body. I already ordered a neck. I will be putting this together in the coming weeks in an effort to finalize my cut files. I already see a couple changes I will make and once I have all the parts and know where there located I can make final adjustments to those areas as well. As it sits I got most of the size and placement info off the web and nothing was hands on practical so I assume there will be a lot of tinkering to get things just right for the real thing. Body is MDF and the top is ????? I laminated strips and planed it down to .25 inches. anyone have a guess as to the cap wood.

yup it is bamboo. I have a bunch of solid bamboo flooring and nothing to do with it. as for the slot....thats what happens when you get excited to make your first cut and forget to check your tool dept. but since this isn't the real thing no big deal.

You might look into Fusion 360, it's free for hobbyists if you create an account with Autodesk. It's an extremely powerful software, it is like all the best softwares rolled into one, plus it has the cam built in. I use many types of software, SolidWorks, Mastercam, Surfcam, TurboCad, and Fusion is just as good as any of those high dollar Cad/Cam programs.ocguy106 said:
