The necks on the 60s Vox guitars are quite flat and thin…I think that’s why I like them so much, they also used the zero-fret system which I believe fender/Gibson moved away from because it was the obvious/cheap (and in my opinion, better!) system
Incredibly glad I found this thread on the forum. My entire use case is bass guitar(s). Looking to pull the trigger soon on an LR3 so I can have a 48"x48" work area (Fender P-Bass in standard 34" scale clocks in at 43.5" if I make a neck-through variation, and unless I ever tried going the Dingwall >35" scale that should be sufficient.)
You guys mentioned neck/fretboard stuff and I wondered if you’ve seen this?
Looks like his parametric file will make fretboard for any scale, any string spacing, and now even does compound-radius necks. Right now one of the huge selling points of a $2000 “American Elite” Fender bass is the 9.5”-14” compound-radius fingerboard. You can find them for less but it’s uncommon. One (of too many) of my design ideas is allowing a client to select custom radius and custom compound radius fretboards and necks.
Curious, what size LR3 did you build ? I would love to da a full sheet capable LR4, as I am a set designer/builder for 5 local schools, but space is limited. BUT, I’m sure I could build one large enough to cnc guitar bodies and necks.
So sorry I have not got back with you regarding this question. I actually built the guitars on a previous home made CNC router. My LR4 has been unused for a couple of years in my garage and I just recently cleaned it off and verified everything is still working so let me know if you have any questions regarding my guitar build.
