Default CAD guitar plans

Stumbled across some free plans for a 1940 L-00, an OM, a Soprano Uke, and a Custom 00. Check it out:

Anyone have a CNC and want to try these?

Nice! Thanks for those links.

And desktop mills are getting cheap. You can get a CNC for less than $2000 and start cutting your own parts from the PDFs.

I got a CNC or two or 7. But the plans are metric!!! I will not allow my machines to run in metric hahaha. Oh well they are still very nice plans and can be converted easily enough. Thanks for the link.

Just change the scale in Autocad (or equal) with a conversion factor to convert from SI to inches. Likely you will want to check some of the dims to see if they still make sense (for example, neck width, scale length, etc).
