Thanks very much! Now I need to learn how to make this design an arch top with two f-holes . . . f-holes no problem - arch top - don't have a clue :)

Here's a couple photos of the guitar and the guy I built it for, John Acosta of the "Bee Gees Gold" show.

Thanks Marco!

Here's the first 3D body done with the new machine - of course it will look better after finishing. Ruined a few pieces of cheap wood before getting the CAM portion correct. The neck was not cut for the contoured heel but rather a standard heel - will do the contoured one in the model shortly.

that's really nice. you seemed to have got the hang of MoI. you're website is nice too. i hope you have a lot of success.

Great work Neil! Something very satisfying about creating an object in MoI and bringing it to reality via CNC (and a lot of hand finishing :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Can't take credit for the photo as the pictures are by a professional photographer who is also a customer.

Hi Neil,

> There is a guy selling tutorials on how to model guitars in Moi3D here: https://3dcncguitars.com/

That's great, I didn't know about this one! I've added a link from the MoI resources tutoriuals page.

That would easily be worth it to get very specific information on a complex area like this.

Still a novice - but have learned a lot via this forum about guitar modeling. When a little further along I'd like to share, in a concise file, the tips and tricks accumulated over the years from here so that others, interested in the area, will have a solid foundation to get started with and then expand on. Certainly can save the beginner some grief.

Here is an arch top made with a different program that was shared on a CNC web site - any ideas how one could do this with Moi?
