Hi Neil,
Just tried your last post and it fillets 0.2 on the top any bigger and it runs into a pocket.
Did exactly the same as my previous post separated the solid, untrimmed the top and side to remove neck pocket.
Re trimmed side with belly cut out and joined to form a solid, applied fillets top and bottom and to finish Boolean the neck pocket.
Hope this helps.
Barry
Ps: your body profile right side neck curve isn't smooth?

Here is the last body Barry helped me with after milling . . . vert happy with the contours. Hard to see the arm contour in this shot but it's perfect. I too am looking forward to version 4 with dimensioning.

Nice job. I have several acoustic guitars but never did buy an electric. How much do those sell for?

Excellent job! I have looked at all photos in thread again and it can be nicely seen two things, firstly product evolution and secondly advanced and friendly forum community.

Thanks.
Mik

Thanks for the kind words - many thanks to the patient and helpful forum members who helped me learn to model these guitars entirely in MOI3D. Barry is trying to teach me how to do an arch top but I'm still not getting the hang of it . . . here are a few more guitars (necks and bodies) modeled in MoI - the program along with my CNC machine have become a life savers as they help save time and money in they shop - they also do things way better than I could by hand. Turning out a lot more guitars which was a problem before.
