CarveWright - Making Guitar Body Pic

[quote=Scott McCray;1106325]
These guys are the manufacturer - they sell it under their name as well as the licensed version at Sears.

If you go to the CarveWright site you can see a pic of the machine carving out a Les Paul / PRS type body. I recieived a WoodCraft catalog a week ago and the CarveWright was pictured - I had to do a double take to be sure I was seeing a guitar body coming out of it. Surprisingly the text in the catalog never mentioned using it for making guitar bodies. I went to their site to se if I could find templates for guitars in their software - Patter Depot they call it - they get you to buy the machine then hook you with buying the probe accessories - I guess so one could trace any guitar body (or anything for that matter) and reproduce it....

Here is the pic I copied from their website - ironically the pic is no where to be found now...this is the one that was in the catalog.



I truly can appreciate building guitars with hand tools and sweat but if you're a small shop - for around 2 grand you can't go wrong - it's a no brainer in my book.
