As you can see from my previous posts, the CNC machine was used for much more than originally intended. So as a next step it came naturally to also apply it to fine-tuning the body shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As CamBam isn’t really the best tool to draw Bezier curves, I resorted to good old Adobe Illustrator to draw the outline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 50% above a standard Strat body:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as I needed a lot of room for electronics anyway, I decided to cut pockets everywhere, turning this axe into a semi-acoustic (or maybe quarter-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much better now :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
