I've been following that thread a RR and thinking the same thing........one of the high schools here in the OKC area has a CNC machine, for the woodworking class, the shop teacher talked with me for awhile about coming into the class and giving a few "pointers" as he is planning on having the class build guitars as the class project, although ( and this is the old school in me ) I think it's a bit odd to basically hand the kids an almost finished guitar and say "here's your shop project". I say that because that's essentially what the instructor told me he wanted to do, the programming for the machine and most of the cutting will be done without much involvement from the students for time and safety reasons. Anyway my main interest is in checking out the machine, not that I'm not interested in the kid's education, but.......... if anything comes from this I'll let you know. Anything can happen in our local school system, the "board" could decide to veto any guitar building, because you know what kind of lifestyle Rock n' Roll and such promotes. The poor kids will probably end up making something safe like baseball bats on a hundred-thousand dollar CNC machine ( and getting an "A" in woodshop
)
In the meantime and back on track, does anyone have access to a CNC? Even though I'm proud of my skills, I'm not to proud to put together a "kit" NR 'Bird!
I will commend the guy on the RR forum, his Firebird looks great.
NR Thunderbird designed by Gibson, built in someones garage!
