I wanted a seven-string guitar and only had 6 string, limiting my tone. This project is recommended for people who want more variety in their guitar tone and want to try it without going out and buying a 700$ guitar just to realize it's not the right fit for you.

Supplies

  1. CNC machine
  2. Wood sized to desired design
  3. A way to sand down edges
  4. Fusion 360
