My original plan with the bass was to 3D print the body (Yes, plastic does work as a body material. Just look at the old acrylic telecasters, or that cool 3D printed Hive bass thats been at a few makerfaires), and then CNC the neck out. I wanted to have this really cool pattern on the back of the neck (2.5-3D type stuff), but I got a little carried away with the body design (super impractical and it didn’t look very good) so my friend helped me design a completely different one.
I still think it would be really really cool to do a fully CNCed guitar with some really detailed 2.5-3D artwork done on it. Maybe another time when I have $$$$ and time….
