Send the file and I'll make it happen! While we're discussing this, what's the best way to start this for other bodies? I drew the outline and then extruded to give thickness. Obviously this is the opposite of what I need. So drawing the outline and then what process is used to create a body to a certain thickness? Likes gladly accepted. It seems like I'm trying that, but my initial 2d drawing is obviously not done correctly.
How should I draw the initial body outline? I'm working on the file and I've extracted edges. The geometry extracted is splines and very complex.
The need to be joined to create the solid model instead of surfaces. I join them and still no solid. I converted them to Polylines with accuracy of 99 choice. Still only getting surfaces. I need to look at the original surfaces again to see if there are overlaps. I found two problems with the contours created from your surfaces that represent the guitar body.
I placed lines which point to those issues. Zoom in very far to find the issues. The problem of self-intersecting terminations gets in the way many times. I suspected it but I had to walk around the entire profile to find them. I copied my steps in 30 inch increments so you can look from left to right as I worked through the issue. The errors were between. Only on a more precise operation like grinding. I made a solid for the base of the neck to subtract once I got the full body.
Presspull did have some problems with the outline you provided. I found some strange geometry indicated by the orange circle in my image. I corrected this and then presspulled the body thickness to 1. Please select the Accept as Solution button if my post solves your issue or answers your question.
I went to the same area and found a "joint" in the line that wasn't right. Knobs and switches were located and the control cavity was designed to accommodate them while avoiding cutting into the neck pocket. The height of the bridge will define the amount the neck will tilt back from the body of the guitar. This is evident in the section through the guitar.
Make as many notes to yourself on these drawings as needed; these are your blueprints and patterns. This is the time you really get your guitar figured out in minute detail.
If you get the neck wrong, it might render your new guitar useless. Since our neck was set into the body, we had a few more angles and cuts to make. The top sketch is a top view of the neck. The bottom two sketches are sections of the same neck, but showing how it could be cut from the block of wood in two different fashions. I chose to go with the bottommost layout since I could keep the fretboard surface the most critical surface untouched and dead flat.
This layout is fully dimensioned since I would not be using a template to cut out the neck. I had to transfer all of the dimensions to the block of wood with a pencil, ruler, and square.
This opens up an area for inaccuracies or transcribing errors, so double-check everything Message 3 of 9. Message 4 of 9. Message 5 of 9. Message 6 of 9. Thank you! Message 7 of 9.
I have carried out a 'loft' to form a 3d solid between the edge of the top and the edge of the back here's an image of the lofted solid between the two main edges however, I am unsure as to how I go about modelling the radiussed top of the guitar. Message 8 of 9. Message 9 of 9. Any ideas? If you need a file saved in a format of AutoCAD earlier than version , just contact us after purchase.
Please allow us business days to process. Special requests and custom orders will take longer. These are copyright protected CAD drawings. You may use them for yourself and make copies for yourself as a backup file.
But you may not sell them, and you may not give copies to anyone else for free. These CAD plans are manually drawn and use our signature layout design. They are not scanned images. Each plan is drawn to scale based on the most popular guitar designs on the market today. Copyright infringement is a serious crime punishable by severe fines and imprisonment.
And you may be held liable under both civil and criminal law. You can easily print out these files yourself using your own printer. They are extremely versatile. Or print out the entire file as a poster on multiple sheets, or print out only the sections that you need. The files enabled us to send it directly to the laser cutter with minor set up because of the closed polylines and offset.
With the drawings already done, we are able to direct our attention to the more productive task of building guitars. Thanks again for your quality plans. I teach high school woodworking and have 2 classes dedicated to guitar making, a total of 51 students.
