Importing the Standard Guitar Data Set
East Tennessee State University's
(flat bottom neck - "old NCME" neck design)
has an origin (X=0, Y=0) on the guitar center line (X=0) 0.500" toward the bridge
(i.e., the midpoint of the 21st fret is at (0,+0.500)
With this information, you can now merge your traced data to the standard guitar CADD data set to achieve a "guitar-shaped CADD data set."
The traced guitar data for the Rocket is at the drawing origin (0,0).
The components (blue , green, and gray), centerline tool paths (pinks and purples), and notes (dark red) are pre-positioned relative to 20,0 ABS
The layout/drill template data for laser engraving (Black-Raster Etch and Blue-Vector Etch) and laser cutting (Red-Vector Cut) and associated notes (dark red) are pre-positioned relative to 40,0 ABS.
Note: the template may need to be shifted along the Y axis as required to position the guitar body and its "No Fly" zone away from the 3/8" locating pins &/or the six (6) hold down bolts used to locate and secure the body blank to the CNC router's guitar tooling.
If necessary, use the "style" command to set the default AutoCAD font/typeface from "txt.shx" to "Arial" to correctly display the notes.
Leaving the electronics (pots, 3-Way switch, and associated build data) in place, move the majority of the guitar components, centerline tool paths, and notes onto the traced guitar (located at the origin).
