Any acoustic guitar builds here?
I have not actually put it on the CNC yet, but… I have a very complete fusion model for a dreadnought. You can check out my guitar playlist on my YouTube channel. If you like what you see, we can talk about a collaboration if you are up for working out the work holding to get it made. I’m too busy with other projects at the moment to get to it.
I make acoustic and electric guitars.

Im a little over half way through an OM build. I started it before I had a CNC. Next build is also going to be an OM, me second guitar. For hold downs my plan is to create vacuum jigs. Ill check out the videos.
Check out the Airweights System for vacuum jigs. Izzy Swan on Youtube has a sweet little vacuum system as well
Thanks, ive seen the airweights system. Nice but for the price… Having a CNC lets you manufacture your own task specific vacuum jigs. Aluminum mills easily, as does MDF
I’ve built two dreadnoughts by hand. Would love to bring my Fusion model to life, but there is only so much time in the day. It shouldn’t be difficult to modify my model to OM.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Are you aware of Tom Dalia (Frettie Mercury) he has an online Cad class on designing vacuum jigs specific to guitars? Tom is a great teacher.
No, I was not aware of Tom. Thanks for the info, Ill check it out!
Right? Im about to retire so I will have more time soon!
