skibum5545 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 What programs are out there that could be used for computer designs of some guitars (or basses)? I've seen some cool computerized plans around, and wondered where I could download a program that would help me design my guit. Any help would be great! skibum5545 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithHowell Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I use TurboCAD. They have a full learning addition on their site for free. It is pretty easy to use as well if you have a bit of drafting knowledge. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Never underetimate the power of a pencil and bit of paper (and I'm a draftsman). Reminds me of the story where NASA spent $100,000's to develop the pen that would write in zero gravity. The USSR had it right, because their astronaughts just used pencils.

Gobbo Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Reminds me of the story where NASA spent $100,000's to develop the pen that would write in zero gravity. The USSR had it right, because their astronaughts just used pencils. not only does it write in zero gravity, but it also writes under water, on glass, in sub zero temperatures, and potentially on the surface of venus. at least thats what i was given in the story whenever i design anything, it goes on paper first. easier to erase and whatnot before you go and make it nice and pretty on computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
