I have finally gotten around to building my first guitar from scratch. I designed everything in Fusion 360 and used my RatRig Killerbee to cut out the rough shape. What followed were weeks of sanding and finishing to get to the final result. In this video, I got much more into detail on the designing aspect and the CAM as well.
