  1. Yep I get it and yes sound is a GREAT indication for wood routing. I wish that was true on metals all of the time. I also understand the one or what we call a zero flute end mill here in the states. They also work for Aluminum. MK
  2. 6 flute is a little much, 2 flute and three flute will serve you better in wood. MK Ooops I misread that as 6 flute when you said 6mm LOL!!! Im Bad and my eyes are old without my glasses. MK PS. end mills are better than router bits most times. I have used the ebay cheap ones as well with no issues. Just make sure you are trammed and the steps are correct. Check your TIR on the spindle when using very small end mills mk
  3. Cool, I just wanted to make sure you understood what was needed. As far as making a guitar you are way ahead of most. So do not fret it. Yes that was a Pun. LOL!! MK
  4. Then I would add the basics, Single coil, Tele style single coil and Humbucker. Make the parameters changeable and location changeable, they all would be good. Also the ability to use one or more of any type or combo of those on the guitar. If also possible make it so that they could mount from the rear as well. MK Examples of Tele bodies that would require or might go against norms. The black one may be used with a TOM bridge or String thru Strat bridge. It would also require a set neck. The other allows for any approach.
  5. I am not sure I would worry that much about the pickups and truss rod. These are mainly done using a 2d strategy and subjective to the individual. Neck pocket, placement and bridge placement are the real show stoppers. The rest is just glitz. If you were to add them, use standard CAD drawings and just move them around using GH. LOL!!! MK
  6. I have been impressed with this approach using Grasshopper. I too was working on a solution at one time. My health has made it so I cannot do wood working anymore so I stick to metal now. If you would like I could look at your grasshopper code and layout and make suggestions if you are willing to share with someone. I have no desire to sell this or use for my purposes. If you are interested let me know and I will PM you. Mike
  7. My point is then what is the measured scale of the neck. Maybe someone put the bridge in the wrong place or the incorrect neck is installed. What ever the issue someone screwed the pooch. mk
  8. Is this a Les Paul or a PRS? Most LPs have a stop bar, the PRS may have the string throughs. They are different scale lengths. Just my 0.02 cents worth. MK
  9. If you cannot find the correct parts then find a local machine shop and have them make some new ones for you. Basically they need to be turned on a lathe and the correct threads made. I would take the bridge and the adjustable screws with you so they can make the correct parts. Just my 0.02 cents worth. mk
  10. I still use ASPIRE for my 2d CAD. It works fast and accurate. I guess because I started using it at version 3 now at 11. It makes since to me. LOL!!!! MK
  11. @GenerativeGuitars, I agree I like Solidworks even better, but the cost, like you said is an issue. F360 is not intuitive to me, the CAM in it has some good ops though that Rhino CAM does not. SubD has been a game changer to some extent I have been working on a GH for necks but left that in the design stage and quit messing with it last year. UGH!!! I use a Prusa Slicer right now with my FDM and only step files. STLS are old tech and not as clean in my opinion. MK
  12. @GenerativeGuitars, I love it, I too have been using Rhino since version 5, Now have 7, I love Grasshopper. Would love to see your GH file on that. MK
  13. I would go with the ghost setup. You can always put a switch inline with the mag pickup to make it bypass the board. MK just my 0.02cents
  14. I'm doing as well as I can expect. LOL!!! Getting out of woodworking slowly. My health is not allowing me to move around like I want to. So it is slow selling off equipment due to me being slow. LOL!!!! Then I have to get to the wood shed and go through it all. OMG!!! 20 years of collecting luthier wood. LOL!! What a PITA!!! You are doing fantastic work my friend. Keep it up. MK
