Hi, there have been some discussion going on regarding 3d and CNC machines lately. I thought it could be interesting for you to see how you can model a guitar in a nurbs based software. It would be great if there are any polygon modeler out there who could share a polygon modeling tutorial so we can see both methods.
I'm keeping this very basic and I won't get in to deep in detail.
First you need some kind of sketch.
Place it as a background bitmap in Rhino and trace the contour.
Extrude the curve, in this case 45 mm.
Model the neck plane, here 3,19º.
Model the neck profile.
Extrude a box, here 1,5"
Cut the box with the body and keep the intersection.
Cut the neck to make room for the transition curves.
Build the surface.
And close it.
Cut the body with the neck to create the tenon cavity.
