GUITAR INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN/MACHINING VIDEOS
Thank you for your interest in these videos. I have tried to make them as comprehensive as possible, showing even the "small" details of guitar design and creation process:
-
A step by step guide on how to create a guitar using Solidworks
-
I show you how to use the Internet to get information and diagrams/body designs
-
Creating reference geometry and sketches
-
Body, Neck and cavity routes
-
Carving a guitar body (TWO different methods shown)
-
"Comfort zone" creation
-
Scaling and typical guitar construction dimensions
-
THREE Different Guitar Models included!
-
Guitar Neck model included (also short howto video. For more, see
neck videos)
-
Solidworks (2007 Interface) to Mastercam Interface (X2)
-
Mastercam machining for a COMPLETE guitar body
-
Stock and origin setup/creation in Mastercam for great results and simulation
-
Surfacing, Profiling, Pocketing, Peck Drilling etc maching instructions (see video in
gallery)
-
G-Code Generation and Post Processing (Mach3 Shown)
Even if you never build a guitar before, this method will show you how. I start with "reference" designs, which only require that you acquire an image of a guitar of the web. Once you have this image, I show you how to modify it in Solidworks, to create your own unique design! The results speak for themselves. Read what others had to say about these videos!
