Title:

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.
