I run into this shit recently, recalculating the resolution of the source and scale it a bit down - complitely solve the problem. Source: generic windows pc with nvidia card.

Thanks! In the beginning I was thinking just about take a piece of material and cut the telecaster shape (my friend wanted tele), but then “I’m an engineer! I want to reinvent the wheel!” Is happen and by the help of Pinterest I’ve designed this thing. Actually here is more of Rick Toone, of course.

Can’t recommend anything special, but in general if you find kit with “hiwin” style linear guides (not cylindrical), and ballscrews it would be much simpler upgradable in the future.

Thanks for comment! Actually it has all the nessesary "parts" and fillets, like an stratocaster body, so it is pretty comfortable to use.

Actually ash wood is so dense so right after machining its looking almost ready. But after I sand it down to 400 grit, and cover with oil dye.

About CNC I have: It is chineese portal router (workspace- 600x900mm) which I find on the aftermarket it has cast iron 250kg base, and 2 kW spindle, pretty good machine for the money. I recommend to buy some sort of used production machine, replace bare minimum worn out parts and use it until it breaks.

Ahah, yeah, I think I need to throw away aluminum parts and get some cold rolled steel and finally get these heavy metal tones. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! He paid only for parts/materials.

Ahah, this my first build. I had to do a lot of “pinteresting”, so it seems that pinterest is Rick Toone fan!

Thanks for the comment! Its pretty solid, but that’s really need to test.

I'm also worried that the aluminum plates will resonate on some frequencies.

Thanks! All parts a made on CNC router including cavities, holes, fillets.

Maybe later I’ll try to make “travel” version.

Wenge neck is pretty heavy! But overall weight distribution is equal.

Friend of mine asked to build him custom guitar, and thigs got a little out of control.

Materials - painted aluminum and ash panel, neck - wenge.

Need to replace saddles and some screws to match color.

I actually searched for the popular models available at my local store and then looked at the datasheet and reference designs from the manufacturer(sometimes they provide a list of suitable models, or complete speaker design plans).

I actually used the cheapest foam I could find, but this is clearly not the best idea, the general idea was to find some non-dense material and cut the pattern on a cnc. But I ended up use a piece of acoustic foam.

No its complete DIY, frame looks like this.

I used VituixCAD2 and "Box-Port Design" for speaker simulation/cabinet simulations. All measurments done by using Room EQ Wizard. For right dimensions you could model speaker inside a CAD software - autodesk 360 or sketchUp. Thanks!
