  • Hello !

    Could you please tell me what program you used to draw the template from the original pickguard scan ?

    Thanks a lot

    Jay

  • @espacecubase I used Corel Draw but any vector based graphics editor will do fine.

  • @fogaoagas

    Thank you for your answer.

    One more question. Once you have reproduced the shape of the pickguard, what is the process to have the CNC interpreting it ? Do you export or save as DXF and feed the CNC machine directly with it ?

    Thank you again.

  • @espacecubase This was laser cut. I had it done at a printing shop. I just handed the file I made in Corel Draw, but pdf, eps, cad or any other vector vile will do the job. As far as I could tell, the laser cuter acts just like a regular printer.

  • Wouldn't it be faster and easier to just buy one?

  • @kdr26554 And where would be the fun in that? :)

see all
