Herc Fede Swirled Body CNC'd after finishing ! Precision CNC re-machining

This is a customers guitar body that he wanted a neck making for. preferring the wider neck pocket for more "inboard" from the edge of the fingerboard strings we tooled and jigged for making this happen in a precision mannner for perfect alignment with its new neck. Yes, we could have sanded the neck pocket out, but we have a CNC machine !
not for the faint hearted, the customer was present and recording the whole thing.. pretty soon it will be back with him and playing!

I thought Jaden Rose wasn't doing stuff like this any longer.....I thought Jaden Rose was focusing on building complete guitars only. I need a lefty 7 string neck made for a Custom Chris Woods UV body. Chris doesn't do "parts" anymore. ET Guitars is too busy. Ibanez doesn't offer a lefty 7 string anymore so I can't source factory parts. It seems like NOBODY does parts anymore. Only complete guitars. I only need a neck.

@Billyhadley1965yeah - hi Billy, no thats right, we have not done any clone parts for a long time. the bodies in the video were not made by us anyway, just remachined. I have no idea who makes parts these days but just the fact that no-one is doing them anymore tells you something ;)

it's a left handed body no?

[JadenRoseGuitars]

@kevlebmxeur - yep, lefty!

[JadenRoseGuitars]

the machine is a K2 CNC

good question, the neck pocket was the older 65mm size and the customer wanted the new 68mm neck heel.

was anyone else waiting for tragedy??

Leftys for the win!!

precision cnc'ing means you dont EVER touch the object in the machine, why is your hand on there??

[crispepa1992]

Why are all the cavitites on the back of a right handed guitar body?????!!
