Production-Ready CNC & CAD Design Electric Guitar (Manufacturing Model–Fusion 360 / SolidWorks)
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.
