Patrick sent me some pics of this new start. He shared that he uses a CNC machine in the interest of creating guitars with the highest level of accuracy. Pretty cool stuff!

Here's what he sent:

New Top Bracing and body shape template created from the CNC.



Amazing accuracy of the CNC - the template fits perfectly into the CNC’s created mold. Friction fit.



Drilling indexing holes that are used for additional CNC functions and more importantly they align the back with the index holes in the mold for an accurate fit during assembly.



Routing the back channel.



Backstrip (Paua) set in and CNC’ing the oversize cutout of the body.



Oversize Back cleaned up. Ready for center graft and back bracing.
