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.

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.

Here is this one finished (Greg Howe playing it). Thanks for all the help Barry! Satin poly honeyburst finish. This is a three piece body with Honduras mahogany in the middle and alder wings.
