I have finally gotten around to building my first guitar from scratch. I designed everything in Fusion 360 and used my RatRig Killerbee to cut out the rough shape. What followed were weeks of sanding and finishing to get to the final result. In this video, I got much more into detail on the designing aspect and the CAM as well.

Thank you for sharing. A very good-looking guitar. I'll have to steal the design once I learn enough to build one :D

Fantastic project, Came out great! Also, you managed to summarize 2 years of my videos into about 30 minutes 😂 bravo!

I have spent many hours watching them, and saved even more hours because of it. Can't claim that my designs are as clean as yours, but I've definitely picked up a lot of good habits from you.

Nice insights here, I'm curious about 2 things though. 1. I see you're still doing the fretboard separately, did you ever experiment with glueing it up before as you mention in this video? 2. What sort of speeds and feeds are you running with that 0.5mm bit? I'm impressed every time I see it, and the amount of material you are able to remove for the inlays without destroying bits is really impressive!

1. I did it once, but the work holding of the neck is much more difficult, plus it is more strict on the order of operations so I went back to making them separately. I've had it where there was a bit more work when leveling and radiusing because of this that could have been avoided, but not enough to make me go back. 2. For the inlay I usually go in with a 2mm endmill first to remove the bulk of the material and then do rest machining with 0.3mm stepdown and around 500mm/min for the 0.6mm tool. But still some of the more involved inlays might take an hour or so to cut.
