Hey crow! great lookin guitars! do you use EU maple or US?

thanks! EU maple. (very hard)

Did I miss something? When'd you buy a CNC? How come you use it to route out the shape, but not carve?

Chris

so I bought a CNC. I'm still learning how to use it.

I will also make with it tops and embossing.

The painting was pretty complex. At first burned the maple, then returned polished, stained blue stain. The finish: polyester primer and polyurethane. Only the top of the head has been painted and the rest has been oiled.

first milling

The roof Carving do it well, to many Sierra

jebus I love your builds haha This is probably a stupid simple question, but is there a reason for the strap button to not be centered on the bottom? Was it just better for balance in this case?

Looks beautiful so far man. Very nice work indeed!!!

I just wanted to ask a quick question about using Carbon Fiber in a build if i could please.

When used in combination with wood can you still use the same tools (router bit) that you would if you were just using wood without any problems ?

Also with the thicker stuff like you used for neck reinforcing strips, is it easy to cut and work ?

One of my main players is a Parker Fly Deluxe and it has to be probably the most stable, best playing guitar that i've ever owned or played (and i've owned a LOT of guitars over the years). I can only assume that the use of carbon fibre in the manufacture of these guitars is somewhat responsible for their greatness so i'd love to use some in future builds.

I look forward to seeing the finished guitar!

The carbon fiber fabric moves without problems, but the carbon rod which seriously tackles the machine

I used black water stains

The carving a lot of practice
