- This video shows, in real-time, the process I use to carve a guitar neck on my X-Carve Pro CNC machine. Skip ahead if you want to see the details for each operation:
00:00 The truss rod
08:27 The headstock face rough carve
15:00 The headstock face finish carve
25:20 The headstock back rough carve
40:42 The headstock back finish carve
51:56 The neck contour and heel rough carve
01:11:46 The neck contour and heel finish carve
01:38:54 Job complete
01:40:43 The results

Thanks for this.
I'm amazed you carved the whole thing with 1, 1/4" 2 flute spiral upcut bit. I'd have thought you'd need a bullnose or roundnose bit. This is very helpful. Thx
I am using a round nose now for certain finishing operations.
you make it look easy on your flip I am having lot of trouble doing the neck flip
I use 1/2" dowels to line up the cuts. You carve the dowel holes through the center line of the blank at the start and matching holes into your spoilboard. Lines up perfect everytime when your flip it, and holds the work in place. I just add a few clamps at the corners.
Thanks for sharing... especially tooling and machine speeds!!
Thank you so much for this!
You are a national treasure, Chris.
In the year 2525. 🎶🎶. Some machine doing that for you 🎶🎶🎶🎶
The human race will be long gone before 2525. The only things that will remain will be the machines and the artificial intelligence that runs them perpetually for all eternity.
The music makes it seem like a French film.
Oui oui
Aside from tool changes, flipping the blank, etc. how time was spent "babysitting" the machine? Are you able to do other (constructive) stuff while the machine is running? I am building a machine myself. I plan to use it to do headstock and neck inlays, maybe cut fret slots. Personally I enjoy carving necks by hand. I find it remarkably satisfying (dopamine release, aroma therapy and all that). But then, I am not doing it for the money (yet).
Cheers and well done.
I’m near the machine just in case a bit breaks or something else. While it carves, I’m doing other stuff. After my 300th neck 5 years ago, the romance of hand carving them vanished.
Thanks a bunch for sharing yur feeds and speeds! Just curious, why not have the CNC do the tuner holes, too?
OK I think I see why -- they wouldn't be set to the correct angle, because the headstock is angled. If it were a non-angled Fender-style headstock you could do it on the CNC. Thanks again
Chris I really enjoy your tips on guitar building and finishing but personally all these recent videos about your CNC and programming stuff are not my cup of tea. Obviously I don't know how the majority of your following feel about them but I for one hope to see more of your "normal" postings again soon.
Sorry, but CNC is the new "normal."
@@HighlineGuitars Maybe for full time or professional builders but your channel has always targeted the small shop and I would venture to say most small shops still are not using CNC machines due to the cost.
@@davedupuis2069 So why is the market flooded with consumer-grade CNC machines, but almost zero pin routers?
@@HighlineGuitars 100%
Do they have faster machines in the big factories?
It's important to understand that when machining wood, you can only go so fast. The big factories have bigger machines to handle volume, but not necessarily faster machines.
Usable guitars are so cheap these days that I imagined the production like throwing a tree into a machine and out comes the instrument a minute later.
You're forgetting the part where a human inputs their creativity into a computer to generate the designs that the machine will make.
need watchtime lol
What a sad sight. Watching a machine do a man's work. Soulless. Awful and depressing. Might as well buy a Glarry.
Look at you using modern technology to complain about modern technology. How painfully ironic.
@@HighlineGuitars I've just sent my complaints about your methods by carrier pigeon, should get there in a week or two.
