There is undebatable proof not only that CNC machining is EXTREMELY EVIL, but that it also destroys the tone producing properties of all guitar making materials.
That is precisely why I have just invented the NCN machine. It does exactly the opposite of a CNC machine. With a CNC machine you take a piece of Unobtainium or Whateverite which is too big too start with, and the machine removes the surplus, leaving just the part you want. Unfortunately, in the process it also sucks out the tone essence, leaving a toneless empty shell.
The NCN machine, on the other hand, starts with a piece of material which is SMALLER than what you want The machine ADDS material until you have exactly the desired product. Of course, in the process it also infuses the part with a healthy dose of tone essence, so any instrument built around this part will have great tone. As a side benefit, much less raw material is needed. One box of matches will easily yield fourty-eight guitar necks or thirty-six bass necks.
The most difficult step has been taken, since the NCN machine has just been invented. Of course there are still a few minor technical details to be worked out, such as exactly HOW the material will be added, but I am confident that a few years of research will easily solve this. For the benefit of all who seek good tone I ask you to send as much cash as possible so that I can perfect the NCN machine.
