[heroalbert]

hello, this is my first post in jemsite

Do you know where can I order some complex guitar bodies like this ?

I know that Warmoth, Chris Wood make nice replacement body like JEM style, but i don't know where I can something more complex

Can it be done with CNC programming?

thx a lot

It could be done but the cost of programming the CNC alone would cost a fortune, not to mention the actual manufacturing.

You need to find an independent luthier like myself who only does custom work.
Is that the body you want or are you wanting something special?

Are you wanting the body just cut and sanded or are you wanting it painted and such too?

I agree with Cosmo. So many people seem to think you have to have a CNC to do anything. CNC only applies when you start talking about reproducing the same design in production levels. Guaranteed one could cut that body by hand in less time than it would take to program the CNC. Any decent luthier that does custom work should be able to build it for you no problem.

+1 on that... i mean hey, people make more complex sculptures by hand! :P
