Production-Ready CNC & CAD Design Electric Guitar (Manufacturing Model–Fusion 360 / SolidWorks)
Posted 2026-05-06Title:
Electric Guitar CAD / CNC Design for Production (Fusion 360)
Description:
I am developing a professional solid body electric guitar for production and am looking for an experienced CAD designer who understands both guitar design and CNC manufacturing.
This is not a concept-only project. The design, specifications, and layout direction are already established. I am now moving into the engineering phase to create an accurate 3D model and manufacturing-ready files for CNC and OEM production.
I need someone who can properly translate the design into a production-ready model with correct geometry, alignment, and real-world build considerations.
Key Requirements:
- Experience with electric guitar design (scale length, intonation, bridge placement, neck pocket geometry)
- Strong understanding of CNC machining and manufacturing constraints
- Ability to create clean, organized, production-ready CAD files
- Experience preparing files for CAM and/or overseas manufacturing preferred
Project Scope:
- Refine and validate existing design geometry
- Develop full 3D model (body, neck interface, hardware layout)
- Ensure correct scale length, string alignment, and tolerances
- Prepare files suitable for CNC machining and production
Deliverables:
- Parametric Fusion 360 (.f3d) or SolidWorks native file
- STEP file (.step / .stp) – full 3D solid model
2D DXF Files (aligned to centerline):
- Body outline
- Neck pocket
- Pickup cavities
- Control cavity
- Bridge and hardware hole locations
- Headstock profile
Documentation:
- Fully dimensioned drawing package (PDF)
- Defined centerline and reference geometry
- Recommended manufacturing tolerances
- Depth table for cavities and key contours
Additional Expectations:
- Validate scale length, bridge placement, and intonation range
- Verify string alignment from nut through bridge
- Ensure accurate neck pocket geometry and fitment
- Make design adjustments as needed for manufacturability
I will provide reference drawings, specifications, and design direction.
This project will move directly into prototype manufacturing and may lead to ongoing work.
Important:
Please include examples of guitar-related work or CNC-based instrument projects.
